When Keiser cross country was last in action, the teams competed at the Ave Maria Invitational at Gyrene Field. One the men's side, Iker Prados Olina continued his outstanding season, capturing his second consecutive individual title with a time of 26:04.32 in the 8k race. His winning time was more than 30 seconds faster than his previous victory at the STU Invitational and marked the eighth-fastest 8k time in program history. Pablo Canada also turned in a strong performance, finishing 12th overall in 28:03.90, while Santiago Salazar rounded out the Seahawks' finishers.

For the woman, Erika Gustafsson place the Seahawks with a 27th-place finish in 26:11.70 in the 6k race. Camille Romero followed closely behind in 29th place, crossing the line just 2.8 seconds later in 26:14.50. Eva Vrancken, Leslie Chairez and Kaitlin Shanchez Alonso also competed for Keiser as the women's squad continued its preparations for the conference championship.

At last year's Sun Conference Championship, the Seahawk men placed seventh overall, while the women's team earned a fifth-place finish. Both squads will look to build on those results as they take on the best of the Sun Conference in Ave Maria.
