Heading into the 2016 season, the Eastern Michigan University men's cross country team looks primed to have another strong year after concluding 2015 with one of their strongest postseasons in recent years. Although the team will miss Willy Fink, who has exhausted his cross country eligibility, the team returns six of seven harriers from the NCAA Great Lakes Regional, where the squad had their best finish in 13 years by placing third with 102 points.
