FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The Nova Southeastern men’s and women’s cross country teams will officially begin competition this weekend in West Palm Beach, kicking off their abbreviated three-meet schedule for the postponed 2020 season.
 
This year’s slate for the Sharks opens up at the Palm Beach Atlantic Meet on the campus of Palm Beach Atlantic University, Saturday, Jan. 30, facing competition from PBA and Lynn.
 
The next competition on the slate is Feb. 13 in Lakeland’s Holloway Park at Florida Southern, and the season rounds out in Melbourne at the Sunshine State Conference Championships on Feb. 27 at Wickham Park.
 
“We’re pretty excited about the schedule,” 13th-year head coach Bryan Hagopian said. “I believe we’re going to do very well, but the most important thing is we’re getting back to racing. We’re all pumped-up because this is a great opportunity for the student-athletes to get back to normalcy. We’ve got a chance to put the Sharks uniform on and go out there and show everyone what they’ve got.”

NEW ORLEANS, La. – The Nova Southeastern men’s and women’s cross country teams have both been honored by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) as All-Academic teams. In addition, women’s cross country runners Michelle Bauer and Isabella Aristizabal were named 2019 NCAA Division II Cross Country All-Academic Athletes.

Programs must have compiled a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or greater and scored at an NCAA Division II regional meet to qualify for the award. Individual honorees must have compiled a cumulative grade-point average of 3.25 or greater and must have finished among the top 30 percent of total eligible runners at his or her NCAA Regional Championship.
 
In addition to their efforts on the course, the men’s cross country program finished the semester with a 3.2 cumulative GPA, while the women’s squad is at 3.13, contributing to an overall NSU effort that saw the best Fall semester on record and every Sharks program above a 3.0.

The veteran and the rookie, Bauer (Jr., St. Marys, Pa.) was a consistent leader for the Sharks this fall, pacing NSU in all seven meets, including the NCAA South Regional in Lakeland. Aristizabal (Fr., Davie, Fla.) worked her way into the upper Sharks pack and scored in four of six meets she ran last fall, including the Regional. Both runners are looking forward to strong distance performances on the track this spring, beginning with the NSU Invitational, Feb. 22 at the Ansin Sports Complex in Miramar, Fla.
