MINNEAPOLIS -- The No. 5/23 University of Minnesota cross country team will conclude their regular season schedule this Sunday, Nov. 7, as they host Rocky's Run, an open 6k race, at 10:30 a.m. CT at Les Bolstad Course.
ABOUT ROCKY'S RUN
Members of the public are invited to join the Gophers for an open 6k race at Les Bolstad this weekend. Registration is open now online, and will close at 9:00 p.m. CT on Saturday, Nov. 6. Race-day registration will be available as well on Sunday. The entry fee to participate in $20 per person.
Rocky's Run was founded in 1981 to honor former Gopher runner Rochelle "Rocky" Racette, who died in a car accident that fall at the age of 22. While at the University of Minnesota, Racette was an All-American in track & field and cross country and champion of the Big Ten and Drake Relays 5,000-meter titles. The annual race is staged by the many members of the running community who knew and loved her. Racette's legacy lives on through the memory of those who knew her, and through Rocky's Run and the scholarship for which it raises money.
LAST TIME OUT
At the 2021 Big Ten Conference Cross Country Championships last weekend, Minnesota laid down arguably their best performances of the season on both sides of the program.
Led by the 2021 Individual Big Ten Champion, Megan Hasz, the Gopher women managed to claim their third team Big Ten title in program history. Three women earned a top-10 finish in the 6k race, with M. Hasz (first), Abby Kohut-Jackson (seventh) and Bethany Hasz (ninth) all earning All-Big Ten honors. M. Hasz is the third individual champion in program history, joining her sister B. Hasz and Eileen Donaghy, who won in 2020 and 1987, respectively.
The men were led by an All-Big Ten First Team performance from Alec Basten, who claimed fifth in the men's 5.2 mile race to help Minnesota claim third (83 points) in the team standings. All five scoring Gophers cracked the top-25, with Matt Wilkinson claiming 15th while Owen Hoeft, Khalid Hussein and Jack Manderscheid took 20th-22nd, respectively.
