HOWARD BISON MEN'S CROSS COUNTRY

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Howard University's men's cross country program competes within the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference as part of the school's athletic offerings in Washington, DC, where the historically Black university has operated since 1867 with a current enrollment of 12,941 students. The Bison represent one of the institution's fall sports initiatives, drawing from a campus that has built its athletic identity across multiple NCAA Division I-FCS sports. As a conference competitor, the program participates in MEAC championships and regional qualifying meets that determine postseason eligibility and national ranking opportunities throughout the cross country season.

Located in the nation's capital, Howard's cross country program benefits from competing in a region with strong collegiate distance-running traditions and access to diverse training environments across the DC metropolitan area. The team's roster and coaching staff work within the framework of MEAC competition, where regional meets typically occur from September through November, culminating in conference championships that serve as the primary objective for most squads in the conference. Like other Howard athletic programs, the Bison cross country team operates under the university's commitment to providing NCAA Division I-FCS competition while maintaining the academic standards expected of students at an institution enrolling nearly 13,000 undergraduates and graduate students.
