DURHAM – Duke cross country senior Zach Kinne and sophomore Amina Maatoug look to close out the 2022 cross country season on a high note as the pair gears up to compete at the NCAA Championships on Saturday, Nov. 19 at the Greiner Family OSU Cross Country Course in Stillwater, Okla.
The Blue Devils are seeking their highest individual placement on the women’s side since Juliet Bottorff’s 21st-place finish in 2013, along with the fastest finish by a Duke man since Shawn Thompson’s 95th-place performance in 2015.
MEET INFORMATION
- The women’s 6K begins at 10:20 a.m. ET, while the men’s 10K starts at 11:10 a.m. ET.
- Live results are available for both races on PrimeTime Timing, with the meet set to air live on ESPNU.
WHAT TO KNOW
- Maatoug enters the meet following a sixth-place finish of 20:11.5 at the NCAA Southeast Regional, which garnered her All-Southeast Region honors and an automatic bid to the national meet.
- Kinne earned an at-large bid after clocking 29:59.9 to place ninth and collect all-region honors. The senior sat in 40th place at the 4K mark but strategically maneuvered himself throughout the remainder of the race to catapult 31 spots and into the top 10.
