GREENSBORO, N.C. – The UNC Greensboro (UNCG) men's and women's cross country teams and Head Coach Kaleigh Roach have announced their 2025 schedule.   

The men highlighted the 2024 season with a third place finish at The Southern Conference (SoCon) Championship, making it the best mark since the 2011* season when UNCG was crowned champion. They then concluded the season at the NCAA Division I Southeast Regional in Rock Hill, South Carolina, where they finished 22^nd overall. Spartan alum, Colin Keck earned All-Conference Second Team honors with his 12^th place finish, while rising sophomore Logan Ruffner was named to the All-Freshman Team.  

The women saw its best mark at the Phoenix Invitational last season, where the squad finished fourth and rising senior Vicky Sosa placed third individually. Sosa later led the Spartans with her 22^nd-place finish, for a career-best mark at the SoCon Championships, where the women took home seventh as a team.

"Our crew is excited to begin the 2025 cross country season!" exclaimed Coach Roach. "I believe our schedule provides the competitive opportunities to challenge and prepare my student-athletes for the championship segment, highlighted by the Panorama Farms Invitational and Upstate Invitational on Oct. 17^th and 18^th, respectively. We are also looking forward to hosting our first home cross country meet on Oct. 3, which will be new to our program's history. We appreciate all the support in this new season!"
