GRAND CANYON ANTELOPES MEN'S CROSS COUNTRY

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Grand Canyon University, established in 1949 and now serving 101,816 students in Phoenix, Arizona, fields its men's cross country program within the Mountain West Conference during the fall season. The Antelopes compete as part of a sprawling athletic department at one of the nation's largest private universities in the Mountain West footprint. With Phoenix's elevation of approximately 1,100 feet and its proximity to higher-altitude training grounds, the program benefits from year-round moderate conditions that support competitive distance running development.

Competing in a conference featuring programs from across the Southwest and Mountain regions, Grand Canyon's cross country roster trains and competes throughout the fall championship season. The Mountain West Conference represents one of Division I's mid-major athletic communities, placing the Antelopes among 12 peer institutions in cross country competition. Distance runners at Grand Canyon balance academic demands from a university population exceeding 100,000 with the rigorous training regimens required for collegiate cross country success at the NCAA Division I level.
