GEORGETOWN, TEXAS - The Southwestern University Women's Cross Country team opens up the 2024 season by hosting the Stormy Seas Opener on Friday, August 30th in Georgetown, Texas.
Coach
Joe Sponsel said this post meet: "I could talk about how excited I am for the women's team all day. The returners really showed how much progress they've made since last year and our newcomers are making an impact right away. On top of the great results, I think there's a lot of the women who still have yet to learn just how in shape they are and how to get the most out of themselves. That's where I think the women's team will see much of it's improvement through the season."
