KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Competing on its home course at Cherokee Farms, the Tennessee cross country program turned in a pair of top-10 team finishes Friday morning as it hosted the 2025 Southeastern Conference Cross Country Championships. The Lady Vols, ranked No. 27 nationally, placed seventh in the women's 6,000-meter race, while the men's squad took ninth overall in the 8,000-meter competition.

Freshman standout Mary Nyaboke Ogwoka continued her remarkable debut season by earning All-SEC honors with a ninth-place finish in the women's race, clocking a time of 20:10.5. She was Tennessee's top finisher for the fourth consecutive meet, helping the Lady Vols total 192 points and narrowly edge Kentucky by a single point for seventh place.

Veteran runners Andie-Marie Jones (43rd, 21:06.7), Summer Schuster (44th, 21:07.0), and Jaci Sievers (45th, 21:07.0) crossed the line in quick succession, while graduate student Amelia Wills (52nd, 21:15.5) rounded out the Big Orange scoring effort for the Lady Vols.

On the men's side, sophomore Ethan Edgeworth led the charge for the Big Orange, placing 25th overall with a time of 24:04.7. He was followed closely by a trio of underclassmen—freshman Ty Steorts (33rd, 24:14.4), redshirt freshman Hudson Betts (34th, 24:15.7) and sophomore Zouhair Redouane (42nd, 24:23.0). Rookie Liam Conway turned in a 54th-place finish in 24:37.7 as the Volunteers tallied 187 points for ninth place in a competitive 14-team field.

UP NEXT: The Vols and Lady Vols will now turn their attention to the NCAA South Regional Championships, set for Friday, Nov. 14, in Huntsville, Alabama.
