Aug 11, 2025 | Cross Country
NEW ORLEANS – The Tulane University 2025 cross country schedule is officially set with the Green Wave competing in four regular season meets this fall Director of Cross Country/Track & Field Adrian Myers announced.
"This year our program has a lot of new faces in play, but we have same ambitions," Coach Myers said. "We want to every year compete for American titles and toe the line at the National Championships in November. With a fairly new set of faces on the roster we have a little thinner race schedule to ensure enough preparation time for the championship portion of the season."
The Wave will open the 2025 campaign on Friday, August 29, hosting the Battle of New Orleans at Lake Oaks Park.
"This schedule will continue to open at home with the "Battle for New Orleans" in front of the Tulane faithful," Myers explained. "What's special about that as well is that our home course will be host site for the 2026 American Cross Country Championships. So, we invite everyone to come check it out and familiarize yourself with our course and the sport! After that, all our competitions provide an elite opportunity to go head-to-head with the top programs in the country."
In the month of September Tulane will hit the road for the Gans Creek Classic hosted by the University of Missouri. The meet will be held at the Gans Creek Cross Country Course on Friday, September 26.
The Green Wave will close out the regular season with a pair of meets in October. Tulane will make the trip to Fayetteville, Arkansas, for the Chile Pepper Festival at Agri Park on Saturday, October 4. The final meet of the regular season for the Wave will be the Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational on Friday, October 17 in Madison, Wisconsin.
The 2025 postseason will start with The American Conference Championship in Concord, North Carolina, on Saturday, November 1. Tulane will aim to defend its men's title from last season while the women will look to claim their second championship in three years. The championship meet will be hosted by Charlotte at Frank Liske Park.
"Iron sharpens iron and that is what we want so that come championship season, we are as prepared as possible to meet our standard of championships and continuing to collect our respect on the national stage," Myers stated.
