Mizzou cross country faces tall task in NCAA Midwest Regional
Mizzou aims for first NCAA Championships berth since 2016 for women and 2000 for men amid tough Midwest Regional competition at Stillwater, Oklahoma.
- Mizzou cross country faces the NCAA Midwest Regional Friday at the Greiner Family OSU Cross Country Course in Stillwater, Oklahoma, aiming to qualify the women's team since 2016 and men's since 2000.
- In the region, the Midwest region ranks among the nation's strongest with Oklahoma State and Iowa State as favorites and Oklahoma defeating Mizzou on Oct. 31, while Loyola Chicago rounds out the top five.

- The NCAA will announce at-large bids and qualifiers at 4 p.m. Saturday on NCAA.com after regional championships, per the NCAA Cross Country Subcommittee.
- Levermore highlighted individual leaders, saying `Drew has been the rock of this men's program and leads by example every day`, and Rogers earned All-SEC First Team honors after placing seventh in the conference championship.
