Huskies' Izzi Batt-Doyle to compete in 10000m at World University Games Wednesday...

With the start of the collegiate cross country season right around the corner, the University of Washington’s Australian import Izzi Batt-Doyle (left/photo by Paul Merca) will have one track race left before she reports to the UW for the start of the fall season.

Based on her performance at the NCAA championships in June, where she finished 12th in the 10000 meters in a time of 33:49.61, and the Pac-12s, where she ran 33:35.19, the Australian federation selected Batt-Doyle to compete in that event on Wednesday, August 23rd, which is the opening day of track and field at the FISU World University Games in Taipei, Taiwan.

Batt-Doyle will race at 7:45 pm, local time (4:45 am in Seattle) on Wednesday.
