MAINE BLACK BEARS WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRY

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Located in Orono, Maine, the University of Maine women's cross country program competes in the America East Conference as part of the Division I-FCS athletic structure. Established at an institution founded in 1865 with current enrollment of 10,878 students, the Black Bears field a competitive squad each fall season across Maine's challenging terrain and climate. The program draws from the New England region's strong running tradition while representing one of the northernmost Division I cross country operations in the nation.

Maine's cross country athletes balance rigorous training schedules with the academic demands of a research-focused university that maintains significant graduate programs alongside undergraduate studies. Competing in the America East Conference places the Black Bears among regional rivals from institutions across the Northeast, with conference championship races serving as critical competition benchmarks throughout the autumn schedule. The program's home venue and training facilities support the year-round preparation required for competitive distance running at the Division I level.
