CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - The University of Northern Iowa cross country team will head to Lincoln, Neb. for the Woody Greeno/Nebraska Invitational on Saturday, Sept. 19.

The meet is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. at Pioneers Park. The women will run a 6K while the men will complete an 8K.

The Panthers had success last season at the Nebraska Invite, with seven athletes between the men's and women's programs notching top-25 finishes in a stacked field. This year, UNI will compete against some of the best competition in the region, including Nebraska, Creighton, Air Force and MVC foe Wichita State.

UNI kicked off its 2015 season at the Early Bird Invitational in Iowa City two weekends ago. Shane Kirchoff started his senior campaign with a top-10 finish in the men's 6,000 meters. His time of 19:20.20 was good enough for an eighth place finish out of 46 competitors. Trai Bunch was UNI's second runner through the finish line, coming in 20^th place overall with a time of 19:34.70.

On the women's side, the Panthers were led by Kelsey Kirchoff and Brette Correy, who both finished in the top-10. Kelsey notched a sixth place finish in the women's 3K, grabbing a time of 10:32.30. Correy was able to score an eighth place finish with a time of 10:37.10.

Fans wishing to catch up with the action on Saturday can follow @UNITrackFieldXC on Twitter. A full set of results and a recap will be available following the completion of the meet on www.UNIPanthers.com.
