Travis Mahoney to Represent Team USA at the Great Edinburgh XCountry International Challenge
1.11.18 | Men's Cross Country
PHILADELPHIA - Temple cross country alumnus, Travis Mahoney, has been selected to represent Team USA at this weekend's 2018 Simplyhealth Great Edinburgh XCountry International Challenge in Scotland. Mahoney will join forces with three other members of the USATF team to compete in the co-ed 4x1K relay on Saturday, Jan. 13.
The 2018 Great Edinburgh will feature athletes competing across five races among the best of Europe. Mahoney is set to compete in the innovative International Mixed Relay event which will see national teams of four (two men and two women) compete in a 4x1k challenge for the Stewart Cup.
The popular co-ed 4x1K relay will see sub-13:20 5,000m performer Will Geoghegan and steeplechaser Mahoney team up with 2017 NCAA 1500m sixth-placer Rebecca Mehra and Ayla Granados to try and top Team USA's 2017 second-place performance.
Mahoney became Temple's first All-American in cross country on Nov. 17, 2012. It was the second time in that calendar year in which Mahoney had earned All-American honors, and he completed his career with a total of three All-America honors at Temple after earning two in track and field. Mahoney was also a seven-time Atlantic 10 Champion, three-time Atlantic 10 Outstanding Performer of the Year and the NCAA Men's Mid-Atlantic Athlete of the Year in 2012. The Old Bridge, N.J. native holds four school records for the former men's track and field program including the 3000-meter steeplechase record set in 2012 (8:36.10).
The 2018 Great Edinburgh XCountry International Challenge will be available live on USATF.TV PLUS.
