A LOOK BACK AT THE 2021 NCAA GREAT LAKES REGIONAL
A year ago, then-junior Emma Tate and then-senior Curt Eckstein qualified for the NCAA Championships after top-25 performances at the 2021 NCAA Great Lakes Regional in Evansville, Indiana, on November 12. Eckstein was 14th overall with a career-best 10k time of 30:07.1 and Tate was 25th and ran the 6k course in 20.29.8. The duo earned All-Region accolades, Tate for the first time in her career and Eckstein for the fourth time.
As a team, both the men and women finished ninth. The men earned 221 points as the top five finishers placed in the top 55. The women collected 226 points as four runners placed in the top 51.
