After a week off, the Southern Illinois University Carbondale men's and women's cross country team will return to action this weekend when the Salukis travel to Terre Haute, Ind., to compete in the Indiana State Invitational Saturday, Sept. 30.
The meet, which will be held at the Gibson Recreational Facility, will feature men's and women's competition from 14 teams. The 6K women's race will begin at 10:30 a.m., followed by the men's 8K race at 11:15 a.m.
Competing men's and women's teams include Indiana State, Air Force, Bradley, Illinois State, Indiana-Purdue/Fort Wayne, IUPUI, Northern Arizona, Ohio State, Ohio, and Rose-Hulman.
The outing will represent the Salukis' fourth of the season as they have competed earlier in the year at Southern Indiana (Evansville, Ind.), Bradley (Peoria, Ill.) and Parkside (Kenosha, Wis.).
SIU's women's team is coming off a sixth-place finish while the men are coming of an eight-place showing two weeks ago in Kenosha, Wis.
