About the Meet
The Midwest region showcases three conferences: the GLIAC, GLVC and G-MAC, with the top three teams earning automatic qualifiers to the NCAA Division II Cross Country Championships in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Saturday, Nov. 22. The top two individuals from non-qualifying teams qualify automatically, as does any individual from a non-qualifying team who finishes in the top five overall. Eight more selections nationally are also made. Ten at-large teams will be selected by the NCAA Division II Men's and Women's Cross Country Committee.
The No. 30 nationally-ranked Michigan Tech men's team were most recently ranked seventh in the Midwest Region poll. The Black & Gold will see all four of its All-GLIAC runners appear at the starting line in senior Michael Dennis (First Team), junior Zeb Swager (Second Team), senior Callen Carrier (Second Team), and freshman Eddie Snider (Second Team).

Veteran Sawyer Fowler and junior Brady Ketzenberger will be appearing on the regional squad for the first time in their career. Fowler was a member of the national qualifying team a season ago.

The Huskies return four runners from last year's regional squad, including All-Region performer Colman Lenci. Michael Marshall, who ran for the Black & Gold last season at the Midwest Regional, will be an alternate runner along with Austin Smelker and Dylan Lydic. Lenci took 23rd-place last year in his regional debut for the Huskies.

The women's team was most recently ranked eighth in the Midwest Region poll. Freshman Hannah Dupuis has been the low-stick for the Black & Gold the last two meets, highlighted by an All-GLIAC second team performance in her first GLIAC Championship meet, taking 14th-place.

Seniors Claire Endres, Ingrid Halverson and sophomore Alex Li are the lone returners from the 2024 regional meet for the Huskies. Dupuis, freshman Brooke Marquardt and junior Alisa Teige will be making their regional meet debut for the Black & Gold. Endres is the top returner from a season ago, taking 64th-place.

Ingrid Seagren is the lone Husky to have competed at a regional meet hosted by Parkside, being a member of the 2022 regional squad.

Sophomores Grace Riddle, Grace Folkema and freshman Alena Tiernan will be making the trip as alternates.
