Redshirt seniors Jamie Morrissey and Gina Sereno earned first-team All-Big Ten honors and the Wolverines' remaining scorers came through clutch to lead Michigan to a team score of 55 points, 31 points clear of runner-up Minnesota.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- From unranked in the preseason to conference champions, the No. 13-ranked University of Michigan men's cross country team continued its momentous 2017 season with its second Big Ten team title in the past three seasons on Sunday morning (Oct. 29). With the win, U-M springboards itself into position for an NCAA postseason run.

The Wolverines went wire-to-wire in the eight-kilometer (4.97-mile) race over the IU Championship Cross Country Course, leading at all seven intermediate checkpoints and holding off a late surge from in-state rival No. 15 Michigan State and defending champion Wisconsin to post a winning score of 71 points. The Spartans finished second with 82 points while the Badgers finished third (88).
