Lion Cross Country Releases 2024 Schedule
COMMERCE – Texas A&M University-Commerce has revealed the 2024 cross country schedule on Tuesday morning.
The Lions are slated to compete in five races this season, which is the third in NCAA Division I and the Southland Conference. A&M-Commerce is coming off a sixth-place finish on the men’s side at the conference championships a year ago and an eighth-place finish on the women’s side.
“With a great foundation of returners, plus a very exciting group of incoming runners, I am just stoked to build towards a great cross country season,” said assistant coach Mark Hamiter. “I can hardly wait to see all our men and women back on campus back together as a unit!”
The season begins on August 31 at the Memphis Twilight, which is hosted by Christian Brothers University, under the lights. The women’s race is slated for 9:20 p.m. and the men’s race begins at 10 p.m.
After a week off, the Lions compete in their only meet in the state of Texas at the Texas A&M Invitational on September 13. A&M-Commerce returns to the Chile Pepper Festival in Fayetteville, Arkansas, on September 28.
