ORU did not make the trip to the Chile Pepper Festival in 2024, but returned as one of 31 schools competing in the men's 8K, and 32 schools in the women's 6K race.  The meet features teams such as Arkansas, Texas, Tulane, Wichita State, and North Texas.  The men's 8K will kick off at 10:25 AM and the women's 6K at 11:00 AM. 
 
This is the Golden Eagles' second-to-last meet of the regular season as they will wrap it up in two weeks at the Weis-Crockett Invitational in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
