EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Men’s and Women’s Cross Country will be recognized at halftime of the USI Men’s Basketball game against Bucknell University Thursday night. Tip-off is 7 p.m. at Liberty Arena, home of the Screaming Eagles.

Both the USI Men’s and Women’s Cross Country teams won their first-ever Ohio Valley Conference team championships last Friday and are the second and third teams in school history to win a Division I conference championship since the Eagles made the move from Division II in 2022-23.

Senior Brady Terry highlighted the men’s race, winning the OVC individual championship a day after he was named the OVC Runner of the Year. Terry had a late push to earn the win as the Eagles edged Eastern Illinois University by one point.

The women’s team dominated its race, placing three runners in the top six and four in the top eight.

Head Coach Mike Hillyard was named the OVC Men’s and Women’s Coach of the Year following the meet.
