The schedule for the 2024 XC season is now out: guhoyas.com/news/2024/8/21/mens-xc-track-georgetown-releases-2024-cross-country-schedule-presented-by-medstar-health.aspx Some interesting venues as the Hoyas will host two meets. I am not sure the last time we hosted a meet, probably not with the start of Hoya Talk.

The Stride Report has learned from multiple sources that Northern Arizona Coach Mike Smith has accepted a professional coaching offer from Nike. One source noted that the team was informed of his decision on Sunday.

where are these hoya hosted events going to be? Leesburg, VA Morven State Park seems to be a good guess. atlanticeast.com/tournaments/?id=80A "home" event forty miles from campus is another example of the unreported story of Georgetown's institutional inability to invest in facilities. Way back when, did Georgetown host meets on campus?

From way back when ('62-'66), I don't remember any home meets on campus or around the campus. I know that some homecoming activities had a 5K run around campus for the alumni/ae. I don't know if they do this anymore.

The preseason national rankings:
Men receiving votes (#34) Women #16 (really undervalued as the Stride Report ranks the Hoyas in the top 8).

From the Stride Report:
From my perspective, it felt like the Georgetown women were consistently disrespected when the podium conversation arose. And believe it or not, given recent developments in another series of rankings, it still feels like they're being disrespected.
This is the #16 ranking from USTFCCCA NCAA Division I Cross Country

The Big East preview will be held tomorrow with the Hoyas hosting in Leesburg, VA.
The lineup for the women: Sally Binder, Angeline Camaano, Mary Grace Hegberg, Cate Joaquin, Victoria Ketlzer, Mia Pasha, Emilia Puskas. I regard this as the B team, seeing what runners could help the A team. The A team is likely resting. The competition will be George Washington.
The lineup for the men: Mateo Althouse, James Dunne, Lucas Guerra, Birhanu Harriman, Colin Kirkpatrick, Daniel McCarthy, Charlie North, Luke Ondracek, Abel Teffra, Alazar Teffra, Akshay Vadul. As opposed to the women most of the men will form the A team. James Dunne will be the only transfer. James ran for Adams State and he is from Ireland with a sub-4 mile. Again the competition will be GW.

Before the meet the best bets for the women are Cate Joaquin and Mary Grace Hegberg. I believe injuries have sidelined them, especially Cate. Cate had an internship with Nike this summer and she was able to workout on their very nice track. So I am hoping that both come into the season healthy, and they can live up to their nice stats in high school.

The men
3. Lucas Guerra 18:37 4. Birhanu Harriman 18:37 5. Luke Ondracek 18:37 Claim 6. Alazar Teffra 18:41 7. Abel Teffra 18:43 Claim 8. Akshay Vadul 18:43 10.James Dunne 18:43 11. Charlie North 18:48 12.Mateo Althouse 18:50 19. Daniel McCarthy 19:23
Hoya men win 25-33, although GW went 1,2. The Hoyas hung back for the first 3K, then replaced the GW runners except the top 2, who went 18:30 and 18:31.
It was a decent workout for the Hoyas. I was surprised that James Dunne wasn't higher up, as he was the lead Hoya at 3K in 8th place. Interesting that Alazar beat his brother Abel.

It seems as if only 5 Hoyas are running in the women's race with 10 GW runners.

Good race by Cate; all that training at Nike must has helped.
