WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW?
...............................................................

» Delaware cross country opens the 2021 campaign Saturday at the Towson Invitational, a meet the program finished in second place behind top five scoring performances by Jessica Pidgeon, Anna Cleary, Deja Rodriquez-Santiago and Katie Hally back in 2019.

» The last time the Blue Hens won their season opener was in 2018 at the Adelphi Panthers Invitational with Susanna Weir's second-place finish helping lead the charge.

» Following a shorter off-season than usual, as last spring's abbreviated season ended in March, the Blue Hens were able to place fifth at the 2020 Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Championship.

» Fourth-year head coach Ryan Waite and his roster of 21 blue and gold runners began their preseason training on Aug. 21. The squad has been preparing for a "return to normal" fall season with the goal of continuing their climb up the CAA ladder.
