Last Time Out
The Red Raiders will be in action for the first time in two weeks as they last competed at the Nike XC Town Twilight which saw Titus Kimaru win the men’s race and Lily Mather win the women’s race.
Mather crossed the 6k finish line with a time of 20:29.2 to pace the women’s team to an overall second place finish. All five Red Raiders placed inside the top 24 to score 52 points. Kimaru was the lone representative for the men’s side with an 8k time of 23:53.5 – a one minute and five second victory.
Big 12 Runners of the Week
Kimaru has been named the league’s Runner of the Week three times this season, bumping his career total to six. He is one shy of tying the most career selections, a record held by Red Raider great, Kennedy Kithuka, who won the weekly honor seven times during his 2010-13 running career.
Mather claimed her first weekly award for her performance at the Nike XC Town Twilight, becoming the first Tech women to win the award since Juliet Cherubet did in 2024.

Tech will travel to Stillwater, Okla., for the Big 12 Championships taking place on Saturday, Oct. 31.
