Wildcats Kick Off Season in Knoxville | Lexington News

Kentucky’s cross country teams hit the road this Friday for their season opener in Knoxville, with men racing four miles at 8 AM and women tackling three miles at 8:15 AM. Under second-year coach Tito Medrano — who led last year’s squad to eighth at regionals and guided two runners to NCAA Champs — both squads are loaded with returning talent and fresh faces. The men return seven runners including Ed Bird and Collins Kipngok, while the women bring back four key athletes like Janet Amimo and Doricah Isoe. With six meets on tap this fall — including stops in Missouri and Indiana — the Wildcats’ postseason push kicks off October 30 at the SEC Championships.
