"Gans Creek gives us an opportunity to put our team up against some of the best teams in the nation." said head coach Ed Eyestone, "We also get a chance to preview the national championship course we will be running on in November. With a young team, I would love to see how we match up against the best teams while also giving out athletes a chance to run hard on the national course. We will need young athletes to step up and I am confident with team captains Davin Thompson and Luke Grundvig leading the way, we will do our best."
The Gans Creek Cross Country Course will also be used later this season for the 2025 NCAA National Championship held on Saturday November 22.
