CLINTON, S.C. -- Presbyterian College Blue Hose men's and women's cross country programs and head coach Robert "Bus" Baker announced their 2026 schedule. The men's and women's teams are scheduled to compete in five regular-season meets culminating with the Big South Championship and the NCAA Southeast Regionals.

"This season is set to be an incredible one for your Blue Hose," Baker said. "Thanks to the fact that conference and regionals are so close to home in South Carolina, we'll be able to expand our regular season schedule to broader regional competition and give the women and men a chance to prove themselves early and set the precedent for the new era of Presby running. It'll be a great fall semester for our young and talented team."

Presbyterian will be back on the course for the first time in 2026 at the Bruins XC Night Classic in Greenville, South Carolina on September 4. Then, the Blue Hose travel to Huntsville, Alabama for the Southern Showcase on September 18. Presbyterian finishes the month at the Tryon Western NC XC Showcase in Tryon, North Carolina on September 25.

In October, Presbyterian will run in the Royals Cross Country Challenge in Charlotte, North Carolina on October 9. Then, the Blue Hose finish the regular season at the USC Upstate Challenge on October 17 in Spartanburg, South Carolina. PC returns to Spartanburg for the Big South Conference Championship on October 30 and the NCAA Southeast Regionals on November 13.
