Five meets build up to postseason
FORT COLLINS- Colorado State cross country head coach Kelly Hart has announced her program's schedule for the 2025 season, one which features several meets across the Front Range.
Â
The season begins in Cheyenne, Wyo., at the Wyoming Invite on Aug. 30. The CSU women's program is seeking to win the event for a seventh-consecutive running, while the men's team looks to build upon a runner-up finish last season.
Â
The first in-state opportunity for the Rams will come nearly a month later at the Roadrunners Invite on Sept. 20 at Washington Park in Denver. From there the team will travel east for the Joe Piane-Notre Dame Invite in South Bend, Ind., on Oct. 3 before returning to the Centennial State for the UCCS XC Open in Colorado Springs on Oct. 10.
Â
The final race in the buildup to the postseason will be the Pre-National Invite held at the Gans Creek XC Course in Columbia, Mo. – the host site of this year's NCAA Championships – on Oct. 18. The 2025 Mountain West Championships will be held in Fresno, Calif., on Oct. 31.
Â
The 2025 NCAA Mountain Region Championships are to be held in Taylorsville, Utah, on Nov. 14, with qualifying spots on the line for the national championships which will be held a week later on Nov. 22.
