SEC cross-country outlook

The state of Southeast Conference cross-country currently rests in the hands of two schools. Washington and Fort Madison had some epic battles last fall, and the two are poised to be favorites again in 2025.

On the girls’ side, the Top 7 runners from last season are due back this fall. Last year’s SEC meet saw Washington’s Iris Dahl win her first conference championship individually, but the Bloodhounds took the team title by 21 points.
