PORTALES, N.M. – Eastern New Mexico men's and women's cross country is set for the 2025 season. The Greyhounds will compete in five regular season meets and will finish out the campaign at the Lone Star Conference championships hosted by DBU.

"Ready for the upcoming year," said head coach Joshua Harden. "We will travel to some great races this season featuring tough regional competition."

The season opener is slated for Sept. 5 as ENMU travels to Lawton, Okla. for the Aggie Duels. It will be the second-straight season where the Hounds have begun the cross country season in the Sooner State.

The following week, the program will compete at a pair of DI meets. The Texas Tech Open (Lubbock, Texas) is set for Sept. 12, while the Lobo Cross Country Invitational (Albuquerque, N.M.) will take place Sept. 13.

Eastern will next compete at the New Mexico Junior College Invitational hosted at Harry McAdams Park in Hobbs, N.M. This will be the second year in-a-row with ENMU competing at the meet hosted by the Thunderbirds.

The final two meets will take the Hounds to Fort Worth, Texas. The first meet will close out the regular season slate with the DBU Old Glory Gallop on Oct. 11 at the AP Ranch.

The conference championship will take place on Oct. 25. It will be the first time DBU has hosted the Lone Star Conference championship.

ENMU returns five runners from the 2024 men's squad. Those student-athletes include Thomas Aerdts, Alec Forney, Jackson Gable, Emmanuel Hernandez, and Brian Norton. Two members are back from the 2024 women's team. Those include Elizabeth Lujan-Towles and Valentina Rocabado Salazar.
