HOWARD BISON WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRY

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Howard University's women's cross country program competes within the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference as part of the Historically Black University's comprehensive athletic portfolio at the Division I-FCS level. Located in Washington, DC, the program draws from a student body of 12,941 at an institution established in 1867, giving the Bison deep roots in American higher education and collegiate athletics. The fall cross country season positions the team within a conference structure that emphasizes regional competition across the Eastern seaboard.

The women's program operates under the athletic framework of a university that has maintained continuous NCAA Division I status while developing student-athletes across multiple sports. Howard's cross country athletes train and compete as part of the MEAC's distance-running emphasis, which historically produces competitive regional performers. The program's home venue serves as a base for training and hosting invitational events that showcase the program's development. Like other MEAC institutions, Howard balances the demands of competitive cross country with the academic mission of serving a predominantly African American student population on one of the nation's most prominent HBCU campuses.
