CLINTON, S.C. -- Presbyterian College and head cross country coach GJ Hudgens released the men's and women's cross country teams' 2025 schedule. The men's and women's teams are scheduled to compete in four regular-season meets culminating with the Big South Championship and the NCAA Southeast Regionals.

"We're beyond excited to welcome such a big class to the team this season," Hudgens said. "It really speaks to the team and bond they share that has attracted so many runners to our program, and we want to make sure they get some interesting races in. Many of the meets we are going to are designed for success, and yet we're treating each one like a rollercoaster of hills, even if they're flat. We're aiming high this year."
