EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Cross Country announced its 2025 schedule Tuesday.
The Screaming Eagles have seven meets on their slate, including the NCAA Division I Great Lakes Region Championships November 14 at Angel Mounds in Evansville.
USI opens the year with the Stegemoller Twilight August 29 at the USI Cross Country Course. Named after USI and Great Lakes Valley Conference Hall of Fame coach Bill Stegemoller, the Stegemoller Twilight marks the first time that the Screaming Eagles will host a meet at the USI Cross Country Course since 2013.
In addition to the Stegemoller Twilight and the NCAA Great Lakes Regional, the Screaming Eagles will run three times in Evansville as they are set to co-host the Angel Mounds Invitational October 17 at Angel Mounds.
Following the Stegemoller Twilight, USI toes the line at the Southern Showcase in Huntsville, Alabama, September 12. The Screaming Eagles also are slated to compete at the SIU Oscar Moore Invitational September 19 in Carbondale, Illinois, as well as the Gans Creek Classic September 26 in Columbia, Missouri.
USI defends its men’s and women’s conference titles October 31 when it competes at the Ohio Valley Conference Championships in Charleston, Illinois.
The 2025 season marks the first time the Screaming Eagles will have the opportunity to compete at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional after concluding a three-year probationary period into Division I this summer. USI won both the men’s and women’s team titles at the OVC Championships a year ago and have had three student-athletes win OVC individual cross country championships in its first three seasons.
If USI is successful in advancing either as a team or individually out of regionals, the NCAA I National Championships are November 22 in Columbia, Missouri.
