WASHINGTON – The Georgetown University men's and women's cross country programs have released the schedule for the 2025 season, presented by MedStar Health. The season features four regular season and three postseason meets across the three months. The season gets underway on Friday, August 29 at Opening Night XC hosted by Trials of Miles.
ON THE RECORD
"Every season brings new challenges along with great opportunities to compete at a high level. Both squads will see many newcomers while still having some experienced returnees. Having a mixture of both will make for an interesting season, one in which we will look to continue the great legacy of XC here at Georgetown. We're looking forward to what's in store for the 2025 XC Season for our Men & Women." - Director for Track/Field & Cross Country Alton McKenzie.
"We are very excited for this upcoming cross country season. We have a blend of returners and newcomers that I feel can help us at the highest level of the NCAA. One change is not racing during the month of September. We are going to prioritize training and recovery during that month to hopefully have the team peaking during the long post season." - Head Coach Brandon Bonsey
"We have graduated considerable firepower at the front of our line-up, but that creates a great opportunity for our returners and newcomers to push into new roles in the chase for high level championship racing. From that cohort we saw some fantastic progress this spring season, so we're looking forward to spreading racing opportunities in September before sharpening with a smaller group in October. Each year a new collection of Hoyas has the task of balancing the writing of their own story while leaning into the recent past for lessons learned, and the longer term history for the inspiration to dream big." - Head Coach Mitchell Baker
