The Cross Country and Track & Field program relies on the generosity of those that have supported it in the many ways that allow us to achieve our goals. We could not be prouder of the effort and focus our student-athletes show in their pursuit of academic and athletic excellence. Without your support, this would not be attainable.
The sports of Track & Field and Cross Country are unique in the diversity and impact they have on the athletic department holistically and the value provided to expand competitive opportunities for men and women alike. We look to continue to grow our brand and with that, we humbly ask for your support in the areas of team travel, scholarships, and team nutrition needs. These areas of support will enhance the student-athlete experience and enable this team to be one of the best in the Big West Conference for the foreseeable future.
Gifts to the Cross Country and Track & Field program provide direct support to the programs, and enable our outstanding Cross Country/Track & Field student-athletes to excel at the highest level academically and athletically.
