SEATTLE – A return to the state of Oregon is on tap this weekend for Seattle University men’s and women’s cross country as the Redhawks look to make their mark at the Charles Bowles Invitational. Racing begins Saturday at 9:30 a.m. with the men’s 8k, followed by a 10:20 a.m. start for the women’s 5k. The race courses will loop through both McCulloch Stadium and Bush Park in Salem, Ore.

This will make the second 8k race of the season for all competing Redhawks.
Posdon, a junior, holds the best time of the season, and all-time at Seattle U, after setting the program record of 23:41.2 on Sept. 18 at the Saint Mary’s Invitational.
For the women, 17 Redhawks will toe the start line on Saturday morning including Aavi Bass, Emma Bellomy, Cate Bishop, Sydney Brantley, Diana Camargo Solis, Annabelle Clapp, Lydia Dale, Mira Danish, Johnny Eggert, Adelaide Nelson, Gia Petrini, Kristina Shkalenkova, Sierra Swart, Rio Tabion, Lyla Taylor, Chloe Thompson and Mila Tsai.
