Oregon State Announces Cross Country Schedule

CORVALLIS – Oregon State announced the 2024 cross country schedule on Tuesday, featuring five chances to catch the Beavs in the Beaver State.

OSU opens the year at the Linfield Harrier Classic, which it won last year. The Beavs remain in-state for the next two meets, heading south for Pre's Run and north for the Ash Creek Collegiate in the first two weeks of September.

The year's first big test will be at Nuttycombe on September 27. In 2023, the Beavs outraced seven top-20 teams including no. 8 Washington and no. 10 Colorado en route to a seventh-place team finish.

October includes two in-state meets with the Charles Bowles Invitational in Salem before the Dellinger Invitational in Springfield.

Postseason competition begins on November 2 with the WCC Championships before the NCAA West Regionals in Colfax, Wash. on November 15. The Beavs will look for their fourth trip to the NCA Championships, which would be a return trip to Wisconsin's Zimmer Cross Country Course.

The season will be the first in several years without stalwarts and All-Americans Kaylee Mitchell and Grace Fetherstonhaugh, but the Beavs return Kate Laurent, Sage Brooks and Ruby Broadbent, all of whom scored in OSU's best-ever finish at Nuttycombe last season.

The Beavs also made a midseason addition of Molly Latincsics, who scored in the 10,000 meters at the Pac-12 Track and Field Championships and welcome back contributors like Eimy Martinez from injury.
