FLORENCE, Ala. – A postseason preview awaits the Mississippi State cross country team at Friday's North Alabama Showcase in Florence, Alabama.
The Bulldog women will toe the line at 8:45 a.m. CT for a 5K race.
"These early season competitions are important to our overall development, so we are looking forward to getting some quality work in at this competition," head track and field coach Chris Woods said. "This also gives our team the opportunity to preview the same course where our regional championship will be held."

Freshman Emma Hossack will make her Bulldog debut, and Sydney Steely and Mary Beth Woodward will round out MSU's lineup with their first races of the season.
