PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Lamar University's women's cross country program competes as part of a Division I-FCS athletic department within the Southland Conference, representing the 18,050-student institution established in 1923 in Beaumont, Texas. The Cardinals field a roster competing in the fall cross country season, navigating the demanding 6-kilometer distance races that define collegiate women's competition.

Lamar's cross country program maintains a commitment to developing distance runners capable of competing in conference championships and NCAA regional qualifying standards. Athletes in the program balance the rigorous training demands of cross country with the academic mission of the university, which enrolls over 18,000 students across diverse academic disciplines in Southeast Texas.
