PHILADELPHIA- The Temple women's cross country team will compete in the 6K race at the American Athletic Conference Championships Friday morning. The race will start at 8:50 a.m. ET at Holloway Park in Lakeland, Fla. and will be aired live on ESPN+.

From Head Coach James Snyder

"During the last conference competition outdoors in May, Michelle Joyce won the women's 5000m and was runner-up at 10000m. She chose to stay here at Temple to complete her fifth year and has had her eyes on this meet to compete for the individual title since the summer. I'm looking forward to her leading our group as we return two other all-conference performers (Lea Kerbiriou and Helene Gottlieb) along with a group of athletes looking to race their best during the championship portion of the season."
