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.
