MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The Memphis cross country team is back home for another meet in the Memphis area, competing in the Rhodes Invitational on Saturday morning.

Hosted at Shelby Farms off Walnut Grove Road, the men will kick things off with an 8K race at 8:00 a.m. followed by a 6K race for the women at 8:50 a.m.

Last weekend saw four Tigers – Declan Byrne, Reezon Eke, Robert Randall and Jalyssa Smith – set personal records at the Southern Showcase in Huntsville. Vincent Chenier placed in the top 80 out of nearly 400 competitors.

A late addition to the Tigers' competition schedule, the Rhodes Invitational will take the place of the Louisville Classic, an Oct. 5 meet in which the teams will no longer compete.
