SOUTH DAKOTA STATE JACKRABBITS MEN'S CROSS COUNTRY
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
South Dakota State's cross country program competes within the Summit League, one of the nation's most competitive mid-major conferences for distance running. Founded in 1881 alongside the university itself, the program draws from Brookings' enrollment of 12,139 students in the Great Plains region. The Jackrabbits field a competitive roster each fall season, representing the university's commitment to developing elite distance runners in a conference known for strong regional recruiting and consistent NCAA tournament qualification patterns.
The Summit League has produced multiple All-American harriers in recent years, and SDSU maintains the infrastructure to compete for conference titles and NCAA regional berths. Cross country at the FCS level provides South Dakota State athletes with the opportunity to pursue serious competitive distance running while earning degrees from a research-focused institution. The program's fall schedule includes invitational meets throughout the Midwest and conference championships that determine NCAA tournament seeding.
