ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (Nov. 12, 2026) – Wyoming cross country will race against some of the nation's best when they travel to Albuquerque for the NCAA Mountain Regional on Friday.
Competing for a spot in the NCAA Cross Country Championship will be 19 women's and 17 men's teams. The Cowgirls will see five nationally ranked teams, including four in the top 10, while the men will race against four ranked teams, including the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the country.
To qualify for the NCAA championship meet, teams must finish in the top two of their regions. Another 14 at-large teams will also be selected to fill out the 32-team field. Individuals can also make the championship. The first four finishers at a regional not on a selected team will qualify if they are within the top 25. The next two highest finishers from across the nation not earning an automatic bid will also be selected at-large.
LAST MOUNTAIN REGIONAL
Last season, the regional was hosted in Salt Lake City, Utah, where the Cowboys placed 10th as a team and the Cowgirls 12th. Jacob White led the Pokes in 16th, becoming the first runner at Wyoming to pace their team in four straight years.
For the Cowgirls, Muriel Jones crossed first for Wyoming in 50th while Brionna Holso placed 66th. Claire Engelhardt, another returner set to compete this season at the regional, is looking to bounce back after not finishing last year after leading the team throughout the race.
