YOUNGSTOWN STATE PENGUINS WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRY

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Youngstown State's women's cross country program competes in the Horizon League as part of a university established in 1908 with an enrollment of 11,076 students in Youngstown, Ohio. Based in the northeastern corner of the state, the Penguins operate within the Horizon League, a mid-major conference that emphasizes competitive cross country racing across the fall season. The program represents one of several athletic teams competing for Youngstown State in Division I-FCS.

As a fall sport, women's cross country at Youngstown State follows the traditional NCAA schedule, with athletes training throughout the summer months to prepare for the competitive season. The Penguins compete against other Horizon League members and non-conference opponents throughout the autumn, with team members typically competing in 5-kilometer races. Building depth and developing consistent finishers remains central to the program's approach, as cross country success depends on the cumulative scoring of each team's top seven runners across the competitive distances.
