PHILADEPHIA- The Temple men's cross country team will compete in the 8K race at the American Athletic Conference Championships Friday morning. The race will start at 8:00 a.m. ET at Holloway Park in Lakeland, Fla. and will be aired live on ESPN+.

From Head Coach James Snyder

"Joe Arthur has stepped in right away this year as a leader in our program on and off the course. It's sometimes challenging for newcomers to adjust to the competition schedule and training within our system, but Joe's taken it all in stride. I'm excited for him to lead our group who are looking to improve upon our third-place showing from the winter cross country Championships last February. We've had several people step up in our pack throughout this season and I'll be excited to see what they can do when the bright lights come on in our championship races start are on the horizon."
