Georgetown Track and Field Recruiting
The Georgetown University Cross Country and Track & Field Team is set to welcome 24 new student-athletes for the 2024-2025 season. This fall, the men's team will add 11 student-athletes, while the women's team will bring in 13 to the Hilltop. Both squads will kick off their Cross Country seasons on August 30th, hosting the Big East Preview in Leesburg, Va.
Last season, the women's cross country team secured first place at both the Big East Championships and the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional, earning their fourth-consecutive conference title and third-consecutive regional title. The men's team fought hard to achieve third-place finishes at both the Big East Championships and the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional.
ON THE RECORD
"We're excited to welcome our new student-athletes to the Hilltop. Having a balance of incoming freshmen alongside graduate transfers should make for a compelling 2024-2024 season. Our women return some NCAA competitors who have contributed across all seasons. We're looking to have our newcomers join this group while also helping us be more competitive across multiple events. On the men's side we've said farewell to a superb class that included an NCAA Champion. However, I'm confident that the legacy of excellence exhibited will continue to motivate our newcomers to ensure they can make their presence felt in the upcoming season." - Director of Track & Field / Cross Country Alton McKenzie
