MACON - The Mercer men's and women's cross country teams will host the MGA/Julius Johnson Invitational on Saturday, Aug. 30 at the Georgia Premier Cross Country Course in Macon, Ga. in the 2025 season opener.
In the 2024 MGA/Julius Johnson Invitational, the women's team had the top eight finishers while the men's team placed six in the top ten. Every runner for the Bears' men's team posted a personal best, while 11 members of the women's team recorded their personal bests as well.
The newly renovated Georgia Premier Cross Country Course has hosted many events including Georgia high school cross country state championships, collegiate conference championships for the ASUN and SoCon and regional championships.
The Julius Johnson Invitational is held in tribute to Julius C. Johnson Jr. who graduated from Mercer in 1950 and was a member of the track and field team. Both squads hope to follow in the footsteps of last year's team and take home first place for both sides.Â
The meet will open at 8 a.m. with the men's 6K and will close out with the women's 5K at 9:00 a.m.Â
