FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Baylor cross country closed the season on Friday morning at Agri Park in the NCAA South Central Regional Championship meet. The Bears were led by Jackie Addy in the women’s 6,000 meters for the first time this season and Ryan Hodge in the men’s 10,000 meters in his final race as a Baylor Bear.



The Bears wrap up the 2023 season that saw the first meet win for the green and gold in five seasons and the highest finish from any Baylor individual (Hayden Gold at the UIW Twilight) in six years.



THE RUNDOWN

The women were led for the first time by senior Addy, a transfer from Florida who made the move to Texas before the 2022 season. Her time of 22:35.4 landed her 83rd overall before Gold crossed 97th in 22:50.1. Freshman Rosanna Pugh was the final Bear on Friday, and she took 104th in 22:55.6.



There was no team score for the Baylor women after only racing three student-athletes.



The men, who took 20th as a team, saw Hodge lead his final race as a Bear. His time of 31:09.2 put him 50th overall in the 10,000-meter race. Devin Duran finished 96th in 32:25.7 and was followed by Straton Miller in 118th, Aiden Ramshaw in 129th and Nolan Keenan in 154th to round out the scoring competitors.



Kanalu Wong and Caleb Ackman also ran for BU, finishing 164th and 167th, respectively.



WHAT’S NEXT

Focus turns to the 2024 NCAA Indoor Track and Field season that begins for Baylor at the McFerrin-12 Degree Invitational in Bryan-College Station on January 13.
