GROVE CITY, Pa. -- The Grove City College men's and women's cross country teams will both compete in seven meets this fall as the Wolverines embark on the 2026 season. 

The Wolverines open the season on Labor Day Weekend by competing in Westminster College's Fisher Invitational, which will be held Friday, September 4.

Grove City will then bookend the month by traveling to central Pennsylvania for the Lock Haven University Invitational on September's final Saturday, the 26th. That will be first of two trips this fall that the Wolverines make to Lock Haven. 

Six days later, Grove City travels across the Commonwealth to Bethlehem, Pa., for Lehigh University's annual Paul Short Run. 

The Wolverines will then head to Oberlin College in mid-October for the Oberlin Inter-Regional Rumble on the 17th. That will also serve as Grove City's final tune-up for the upcoming Presidents' Athletic Conference Championships.

The conference championships are scheduled for Saturday, October 31. Youngstown State University will host this year's conference meet on Gorby Family Championship Cross Country Course at MetroParks Farm in Canfield, Ohio.

Following the conference championships, Grove City will host its annual Friday night Twilight 5K at Robert E. Thorn Field. This year's event will be held November 6. 

Grove City concludes the 2026 season Saturday, November 14 by returning to Lock Haven for the NCAA Division III Mid-Atlantic Championships.

Head coach Paul Collier will welcome the men's and women's squads back to campus in mid-August for preseason camp.
