Re: 2025-26 Track & Field/Cross Country Mega Thread
Stumbled upon a cross country event App was hosting on Friday afternoon as went to Greenway for a walk. Pretty cool to see all the schools involved. Not sure how App fared overall. However, I got there right before they came back across the covered bridge. Seemed to be quite a few App runners near the top

App men finished first with a dominating performance anchored by the overall medalist. App women finished second behind William & Mary. A good day for the program.

It's a clean sweep as the men win their 3rd straight Sun Belt title. First team to complete the trifecta since 1990 I believe is what they said.

Re: 2025-26 Track & Field/Cross Country Mega Thread
Both teams demonstrated that its a team sport. Neither team had a medalist but both teams proved that having your top 5 finish close to one another is the key to winning.
On the women's side, Texas State had the medalist and the 3rd place runner but #s 4 and 5 were 31 and 51. UL had the 4th and 5th place runners but their final two scorers were 30 and 45. In fact, App did not have a runner in the top 10 but all five scorers were in the top 20.
On the men's side App ran away with the title even though we did not have a runner in the top three, but all five App runners were in the top 10--4, 5, 6, 8, and 9. StAte is usually our chief competition on the men's side and they did have the medalist but their next runner was 13th.

BTW, of the top 5 on the women's team, 3 are freshmen (including SBC frosh of the year) and 2 are sophomores. On the men's side four of the top five are 2 freshmen (including SBC frosh of the year) and 2 sophomores.
