Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Chris Solinsky
"The men got the job done in their first 10K of the year. No more, no less. After a solid regular season and runner-up showing at Big Tens, we expect to hear our name called tomorrow during the NCAA Selection Show and then turn our attention to NCAAs next Saturday. I'm excited to see how we get ourselves ready to compete in Terre Haute."
Up Next: Wisconsin will wait to see if they secure one of 12 at-large bids to the 2026 NCAA Cross Country Championships next Saturday in Terre Haute, Indiana. The Badgers will learn their destiny during the 2026 NCAA Cross Country Selection Show on Saturday, Nov. 14 at 4 p.m. CT on NCAA.Com.
