Cross Country Schedule Set For Fall
August 19, 2024 | Cross Country
STARKVILLE – Mississippi State cross country is set for a four-meet regular season before the SEC Championship starts the postseason in November.
For the season opener, the Bulldogs will travel two hours north to Memphis, Tennessee, on Aug. 31, for the City Auto Memphis Twilight Classic, hosted by Christian Brothers University. Two weeks later, State will travel to Huntsville, Alabama, for The Southern Showcase, where eight personal bests were set last season. The meet, hosted by Jacksonville State, is set for Sep.13.
"I'm extremely excited about the upcoming season." head coach Chris Woods said. "We have most of our team returning from last year, as well as some freshmen that we are expecting to make an immediate impact. I was really excited with how we closed our season in 2023, improving upon our championship finishes from the season before. With that, I'm expecting an even better championship in 2024."
In October, The Bulldogs will head up to South Bend, Indiana, for the Joe Piane-Notre Dame Invitational, hitting the course on Oct. 4. The final regular season meet will stay in conference, running at the Crimson Classic, hosted by Alabama, on Oct. 14.
The postseason kicks off for MSU in November, with the SEC Championship in College Station, Texas, on Nov. 1. The NCAA South Region Championship will be held in Tallahassee, Florida, on Nov. 15. The Bulldogs will be returning to the venue for the first time since 2020 for the regional meet.
"I am really looking forward to this upcoming cross-country season. Everyone that we raced at the conference and regional meet last season is coming back this year, so I am really excited to build upon that experience, leadership and depth," assistant cross country and track and field coach Erinn Stenman-Fahey said. "We are also adding some strong talent from our freshmen class which will add great quality to the group. We have a lot to be excited about for this upcoming season."
Should they qualify, the Bulldogs will cap off their 2024 season at the NCAA Championship, taking place in Madison, Wisconsin, on Nov. 23.
