Augusta Cross Country Releases 2024 Schedule – Augusta University

AUGUSTA, Ga – The Augusta University cross country teams have released the 2024 schedule, as announced by head coach Jacob Burgamy.

The Jaguars will kick off the season at the Fire Tower Project hosted by App State on September 13th in Boone, NC. Following this, they will compete in the Bobcat Invite hosted by Georgia College and State University on September 28th in Milledgeville, GA.

October begins with a trip to Louisville, KY for the Louisville Classic hosted by the University of Louisville on October 5th. The team will then compete in the Royals Challenge hosted by Queens University on October 11th in Charlotte, NC. The month wraps up with the PBC Conference Championships on October 25th in Oakwood, GA, where the Jaguars will aim to capture the conference title.

The Jaguars’ postseason begins with the NCAA Southeast Regional in Spartanburg, SC on November 9th. Should they qualify, the season will culminate at the NCAA Championships on November 23rd in Sacramento, CA.

“We’re really excited about the schedule that we’ve put together for our 2024 cross country season,” said Head Coach Jacob Burgamy. “In September, we’ll open up against what looks to be a very competitive D1 heavy field at App State, which should be a great early season test of fitness for us. Then a couple weeks later we’ll get to face some of our conference competition at GCSU.

Once we get into October, we’ll get to go up to Louisville where, if the meet is as high quality as the past few years, we should get to see a handful of the top 10 teams in the country. We plan to use that to give our teams a good preview of what nationals will look like and to see how we stack up against the best in the country.

We’ll finish up the regular season at Queens, where we should see many of the top teams from the southeast region.

After that we’ll head into championship season where our men will look to win their 6th straight conference title and improve on their 15th place finish from nationals, and our women look to bring home a trophy from conference and compete for a national qualifying spot at regionals.”

The Jaguar men look to capture their sixth consecutive PBC Championship and make a return to the NCAA DII National Championships.
