WOODY GREENO/NEBRASKA INVITATIONAL
Nebraska competes at Pioneers Park, which holds a challenging 5,000-meter course that rolls over the tree-covered hills in the 900-acre park.
The Woody Greeno/Nebraska Invitational celebrates its 26th year
of competition on Saturday, Sept. 19. One of the largest annual races
in the Midwest, nearly 700 athletes will race for team and individual
championships in University and College divisions.
Held at Pioneers Park in southwest Lincoln, the meet began in 1990 when
Nebraska Wesleyan combined its meet (the Woody Greeno Invitational)
with Nebraska’s annual meet (the Nebraska Invitational) to form what is
now the largest cross country event in the state.
Nebraska has captured 12 men’s titles and 17 women’s titles. Most recently
the Husker men won the 2013 championship, while the women claimed
their most recent title in 2011. Ten athletes have captured 13 individual
titles, including Fran ten Bensel, who won three consecutive titles in the
1990s, and Lara Crofford, who won back-to-back titles in 2009 and 2010.
In 2014, Anna Peer (right) captured the women’s title in 21:45.30.
