A Look Back at the 2019 NCAA Southeast Regional:

The Blue Devils had a strong showing at the 2019 regional, as the men's team earned its best finish as a team since 2015 after placing sixth, while the women raced to a fifth-place team finish.
The men tallied 198 points behind Virginia, Virginia Tech, N.C. State, Furman and Charlotte and registered personal-best performances from five of the seven runners.
The women tallied 154 team points behind N.C. State, Furman, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest.
Michaela Reinhart, Sara Platek and CJ Ambrosio earned All-Region honors, as the trio finished 11th, 18th and 24th in their respective races.

The Blue Devils will compete amongst a field of 33 (men) and 31 (women) teams.
Duke most recently competed in the ACC Cross Country Championships, with the men finishing seventh and the women ninth among the field of 15 teams.

Tomkinson finished just two spots behind in 16th with a clocking of 20:46.2 to earn her first all-ACC honor. Senior Clara Savchik, freshman Katie Hamilton and senior Elizabeth Reneau rounded out the top-five finishers for the Blue Devil women.
Graduate student Romine earned the top spot among the Duke men, finishing 21st overall at 24:16.5.
