MEET INFORMATION
HEAD COACH ROD DEHAVEN
"Both the men and women are looking forward to kicking off the season close to home in Sioux Falls on Friday night. The student-athletes really enjoy the environment and generally we have had strong performances. We expect a similar experience on Friday night."
THE MEET
The Jackrabbits will kick off its season at Yankton Trail Park in Sioux Falls, S.D. The college women's 5K will begin at 8:30 p.m., followed by the college men's four mile race at 9:00 p.m.
ATHLETES TO WATCH
Cody Larson will look to lead the Jackrabbits this season following a legendary year of racing for the Warner, S.D. native. Larson etched his name in the track and field history books with four new SDSU records, one indoor record and three outdoor program records. Larson capped his impressive track and field seasons with a trip to Eugene, Ore. for the NCAA Nationals, competing in the 3000-meter steeplechase. Last year, Larson finished third with a personal record 8K time of 24:16.0 at the Summit League Cross Country Championships. Larson rounded out the cross country season with a 10K personal best of 30:35.4 to take 44th at the NCAA Midwest Regionals.
Eli Hall will be an athlete to keep an eye on. Hall posted a sixth-place finish at 24:39.5 to earn first-team honors at the conference championship. Hall was the first newcomer across the line as well, earning him the title of Newcomer of the Championship. Hall followed up with a 57th-place finish, crossing the line at 30:42.5 at the NCAA Midwest Regionals.
Courtney Stadter is another Jackrabbit to watch this season. Stadter stepped up during the conference championship, claiming bronze with a time of 20:59.88 to make first-team honors and receive the title of Newcomer of the Championship. Stadter later clocked a 6K personal record of 20:50.8 to finish 48th at the NCAA Midwest Regionals. Stadter went on to have a successful track and field season, which culminated in an NCAA West First Round qualification in the 10,000-meter race as a first-year athlete.
