Truman State traveled 14 runners to the meet. The Gans Creek Meet was a make-up for the Bradley (Ill.) Intercollegiate race that was contested last Friday in Peoria, Illinois. Hot and humid weather conditions were not ideal for racing that afternoon and a decision was made to switch to Gans Creek.
The team will join the women's squad to race at the Missouri Western Griffon Invite next Saturday (October 5) in St. Joseph, Missouri.
