MARTIN, Tenn.- The University of Tennessee at Martin cross country teams make the short drive north to the Show Me State for this year's Ohio Valley Conference Cross Country Championships. The Skyhawks bring in a total of three team-wins and two individual victories over the course of the last four meets.

Southeast Missouri will host this year's event for the first time since 2018 at the Osage Centre Cross Country Course.

The women's 6k begins at 9 a.m. and the men's 8k starts at 10 a.m.

The UT Martin men will be in search of defending their title after winning on a tiebreaker last season over Southern Indiana while the women's team finished in seventh and earned an All-OVC nod.

The men's team has been led by two-time all-conference honoree Angus Monro in three of their four meets. Monro won the individual title at the SIUE Cougar Cross Country Challenge and owns a personal best of 24:26.4 in the 8k. Keagan Enicks (2024 OVC Freshman of the Year) paced the Skyhawks at the Under Armour Pre-National Invitational and boasts a PR of 24:26.4 (8k). David Stukey has earned two personal bests throughout the year including a season-best 11^th place finish and PR (25:03.0) in the CBU Invitational. Will Douglas owns two top-25 outings with his best performance of the year coming at the CBU Invitational when he placed ninth from a PR of 24:48.6. Tristen Bough notched PRs in the City Auto Memphis Twilight Classic (four mile, 21:49.4) and the CBU Invitational (8k, 26:33.2) while Ethan Brinkley nabbed a season-best time of 26:53.0 in the previous meet.

On the women's side, Danielle Mudd has led UT Martin in all four meets including her first collegiate win at the SIUE Cougar Cross Country Challenge (19:01.2). Junior Reese Settle has a second and third place finish to her name, and a PR in the 6k (21:44.5) during the CBU Invitational. Annie Burns has been a consistent performer in the scoring five for the Skyhawks and boasts a PR in the 6k of 22:01.3 at the CBU Invitational. Freshman Kate Robinson has made an instant impact in her debut season at UT Martin. The Auckland, New Zealand native had a season-high fifth-place finish at the SIUE Cougar Cross Country Challenge (19:43.1). Charlotte Cones has put together a solid sophomore season and posted a PR in the 6k of 22:16.1 (CBU Invitational).

This will be the 66^th OVC men's championship with the first one being held in 1962; the women's championship will be determined for the 48^th time this year.
