HUNTSVILLE – The Trevecca Nazarene University cross country teams opened their 2025 season at The Southern Showdown at the John Hunt Cross Country Park. The event, hosted by Jacksonville State University, featured the women covering a 5,000m course and the men were tested over 8,000m.
 
Freshman Hadar Biger is the low Trojan on the women's side, and produced the fastest female collegiate debut for a Trojan at the 5K distance, breaking the time set by Caroline Hampton in 2014.
 
Caleb Hinson, a sophomore, was the low on the men's side, setting a personal record as well.
 
It is the final tune-up before next weekend's annual Michael Pretorious Invitational (DETAILS) hosted by Trevecca at the Vaughn's Gap Course at Percy Warner Park in Nashville.
