Men's Cross Country Travels to the Wolfie Invitational (Sept. 12; 11:15 a.m.)

DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire men's cross country team travels to Stony Brook University for the Wolfie Invitational on Saturday, Sept. 12 (11:15 a.m.).

New Hampshire will compete in an 8K race against Stony Brook, Binghamton University and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. The 2015 America East Cross Country Championship (Oct. 31) will be held on the same course, which makes Saturday's meet an opportunity for conference schools to get accustomed to the championship course's conditions prior to the title meet.

LAST TIME OUT
The Wildcats concluded their only home meet of the season Saturday, Sept. 5, when the team placed second (54 points) against Providence College and the College of the Holy Cross.
