INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – As the calendar turns to September, women’s cross country programs across the Great Midwest Athletic Conference are gearing up for another season of competition. With several returning All-Conference performers and a host of experienced upperclassmen, the 2025 campaign promises to be another competitive season.
Defending Champions
Walsh enters the season as the reigning Great Midwest women’s cross country champions. The Cavaliers captured last year’s title behind a deep lineup and strong pack running and they return a core group that will look to extend the program’s success.
