Khot is the most successful female distance runner in USF history. She brings experience and dedication to our squad and will be someone the team can lean on.

Our women's team has tremendous potential and it will be exciting to see what accomplishments this team can attain. Having finished 7th in the NCAA in 2023 and returning a core unit from that team, our women have excitement and high goals entering the 2024 cross-country campaign

Aubrey is coming off a tremendous junior campaign where she attained All-American honors in cross-country. She has steadily improved each year and it is exciting to see her enter her Senior campaign where she is training and racing at her best. When Aubrey is racing with confidence and is having fun doing it - great things follow!

This is a new chapter for us. I am very excited to see what this team can do this season. We are a very young team with lots of great energy! The returners are a group that never back down from a workout and they bring awesome energy to practice each day. This team has no limits to what they can achieve!

Maggie has made big improvement throughout her college career. She is trusting herself more and more as a college runner! Maggie is that teammate that they younger athletes can look up to and is fantastic teammate all around. With Maggie's work ethic she is poised for another break though season.

We’re excited about this year’s women’s cross country team because we have a talented and dedicated group of athletes ready to make an impact. With a strong returning core, we’re building on last season’s improvement and aiming for even greater achievements. Our athletes have shown incredible commitment in their training, and their camaraderie is creating a supportive team culture that drives everyone to excel. As we head into the season, I’m confident that our hard work will translate into strong performances on race day!

Last season, Maddy led our team at the NSIC Cross Country Championships. Her versatility is impressive, as she competes in multiple events in track and field, consistently achieving personal bests. With her strong work ethic and commitment to improvement, I’m excited to see how she’ll elevate her performance this season and contribute to our team’s success!

Our team brings back our entire top five from the NCAA National Championship last year, which is very exciting. We have had an incredible past year of training where everyone has gotten much faster. We have a solid group moving forward to lead our team. We are experienced on the top end while bringing in over 10 freshman eager to learn and develop. This team could go very far this season if we stay healthy and fire from all cylinders.

Alyssa has been our top runner for the past 4 years. She is dependable and I am excited to see what she can do in her final year. She has a great training group to push her to the next level which she desired for quite a while! Aly has fully bought into everything we are doing and has had the most consistency this past year than she's ever had. She is ready for a big jump!

Last year our women’s team set a school record for fastest 6k team average and placement at the NSIC Championship meet. The team looks to build on that success as we are returning our top eight runners from last year’s squad and added two talented freshmen. With great leadership from our three seniors (Anna Grabowski, Madison Elijah, and Katie Mack), I am excited to watch the team compete and reach new heights this season!

Through hard work and dedication, Anna has set a new 6k PR each year since she came in as a freshman back in 2021. Anna never settles and holds herself to high standards. She leads the team by example and has been a building block for our program. Coming off a great spring and summer of training, I can’t wait to see what Anna is able to accomplish her senior year!

The Bulldogs are excited for a great fall in a competitive conference. With seasoned upperclassmen at the helm, I'm eager to see the team's cohesion grow alongside our talented newcomers. We have considerable depth within our squad, as well as team members primed and ready to showcase their skills following a successful spring track season and consistent summer training!

Franny has shown remarkable growth during her time as a Bulldog. Her exceptional range sets her apart in the conference, and I am excited to see how her consistent efforts this summer will translate to the course this fall. Franny is a great leader for us and I'm excited to watch her thrive in that role this season!

I’m excited to see what our team can do this year. We lost a couple key runners to graduation but we are returning a solid group that made huge strides last season who are putting in the work this summer. We have a talented group of young student-athletes coming in that will have an immediate impact this season.

I am extremely excited to see what Madison can do this season. Madison has improved each season and is positioned to make a huge impact this season. She is having a great summer of training, putting in the miles and doing all of the extra supplemental work. She brings a positive attitude to practice every day and leads by example both in her academics and running.

We have a group of athletes who are not only dedicated to pushing their personal limits but also deeply committed to supporting one another. This season, we have a mix of experienced runners and promising newcomers, each bringing their unique strengths to the team. I'm confident that our combination of talent, consistent work, and focus on team will lead to strong performances throughout the season.

Katelyn has the potential to be a standout on our women's cross country team this season. Her positive outlook, dedication, and strong work ethic set her apart, both in training and competition. Her performance will be a key factor in our success this season, and I'm excited to see what she will accomplish.

I'm excited about how excited this team is to get this year started. We have a great core group in our top 5 that get on great with each other and I think their enthusiasm for the sport and each other are outstanding. I think this group also has a great opportunity to make some noise competitively as well.

What impresses me so much about Paulette is how much more confident she has become over the past year. We have also seen her performances improve quite a bit over that time. Her day-to-day consistency and leadership will be huge for our team this year.

Our women’s team is young this season, with Avery Murray being the lone senior on the squad. However, we have a strong contingent of sophomore returners, with Jolie Dugan and Adisen Stadem as other members of our scoring five from a year ago at the NSIC & Central Regional Championship. Additionally, we are bringing in a strong group of freshmen with good resumes, along with a transfer athlete in Abby Hasart of DWU. This young squad is eager to have a strong fall season!

Avery is our lone senior on the squad, and highest finishing returner from the NSIC & Central Region Championship. We will rely on her to help lead our young female squad. Avery is coming off of numerous personal best performances last season in Cross Country, Indoor & Outdoor from the 800m to the 6k. Avery showcases great service to Northern & her team, from checking in on other teammates, working for a good team culture, and volunteering to work summer running camps & other events!

Our women's team has the potential to be really competitive and I’m so thrilled to see what we’re capable of achieving. The team is led by some talented returning athletes who look to make an impact at the conference level.

Khot is the most successful female distance runner in USF history. She brings experience and dedication to our squad and will be someone the team can lean on.

We have assembled the largest women's cross country team in SMSU history with 8 returnees and 5 newcomers. It is a nice mix of athletes that I am expecting to see growth in as the season progresses.

Maddy comes off a great freshman season which included a SMSU record in cross country at 4,000 M. In track & field she broke the school multiple times in the 3,000 M steeplechase including when she was the only freshman to place in the event at the NSIC Outdoor Track & Field Championships. She also anchored two school records in the indoor and outdoor Distance Medley Relays for SMSU. She is really excited to continue to pursue her goals as a sophomore.

I am excited for both the leadership and growing talent within this group. They are a predominately young group of individuals who are back and ready for more. The leaders of this team compliment the talents, vision, and efforts needed to make incremental change.

This past season Cam was one of the athletes who realized just how much she was capable of. I am excited to see her step up fully and confidently into the amazing athlete that she is. She will be foundational for the growth needed to move us forward.

We have a very young team compared to last year when we had primarily our top 5 all senior runners. This means we have a lot of young runners that will have to step up to help lead the team towards being successful. That is both exciting and a bit scary for both them and me as their coach. We will do everything we can to maximize each person's abilities and help to contribute to the team success.

Callie had a very good indoor and outdoor track season as a freshman and really gained a lot of confidence in her ability to compete in the NSIC. I am really excited to see what she can do this year in cross country and be one of the top runners on our team. She is very competitive and wants to reach her goals she has for herself, so it should be an exciting season.

The 2024 team has three of the top five runners back from last year's championship team. Sophia Taarud, McKenna Taylor, and Kylie Anderson will provide the experience and leadership. Rhya Brandemeuhl and Mara Talabac are returning after missing the 2023 season. Sophomore Sam Harke and the incoming freshmen add depth to our team. We have made the National meet the past two years and this team wants to continue that streak.

Sophia was our number three runner from last year's championship team. She has improved greatly every year that she has run for us. Sophia is coming off a foot injury this past spring. She is very resilient and has been working very hard to be one of the best runners in our conference. It will be exciting to see her progress in the 2024 season.
