The pressure of the postseason is approaching quickly for Mizzou cross country, which will compete in its last regular season meet Friday in the Nuttycombe Invitational in Madison, Wisconsin.
Although it may not be the postseason yet, this meet will be a massive test for the Tigers' ability.
The women's 6-kilometer race starts at 10:30 a.m. Friday and the men's 8-kilometer will start at 11:10 a.m.
Many top schools on both the men’s and the women’s side will be putting cleats to grass on the Thomas Zimmer Championship Cross Country Course.
According to the NCAA website, the men’s 8-kilometer will have 21 ranked squads participating, highlighted by No. 1 New Mexico, No. 2 Iowa State, No. 6 Colorado, No. 7 BYU, No. 8 Wake Forest and No. 10 Florida.
The women’s 6K features No. 3 Northern Arizona, No. 4 New Mexico, No. 5 Iowa State, No. 8 Oklahoma State and No. 9 West Virginia.
Missouri will be getting a huge boost with extra legs on both teams. Evyn Humphrey, a transfer from Tulsa, will be making her Mizzou debut. Likewise, freshman Jean Kipchumba will finally be able to suit up for the Tigers after running unattached and nabbing 12th.Â
After Gans Creek served as Missouri’s first true test of the season, Nuttycombe amplifies that even further.
Family, faith and football helped rear Mizzou cornerback Sione Laulea. Now the Oregon transfer from Northern California is helping lead a Mizzou defense that just smothered one of the best offenses in college football.Â
