NC State men's and women's cross country head coach and Director of Track & Field and Cross Country Laurie Henes announced the Wolfpack 2026 cross country competition schedule.

The Wolfpack opens the season right down the road, hosting the Adidas XC Challenge on Sept. 18 in Cary, N.C.

Two weeks later, select athletes will travel to South Bend, Ind., for the Joe Piane Invitational, while the remainder of the squad heads to Greenville, N.C., to compete in the Dill Family Foundation Invitational on Oct. 2. NC State closes out the regular season on Oct. 16, with select runners traveling to Terre Haute, Ind., for Pre-Nationals.

Postseason competition begins Oct. 30 at the ACC Championships. The NC State women will look to defend their conference crown and claim the program's 30th ACC Championship, which would mark the Wolfpack's 10th conference title in the last 11 seasons. The NC State men will compete for their 16th ACC Championship and first since 2011.

The Wolfpack will then travel to Spartanburg, S.C., for the NCAA Southeast Regional Championships. The NC State women enter the meet seeking their 10th consecutive Southeast Regional title.

The 2026 campaign concludes Nov. 21 at the NCAA Championships in Terre Haute, Ind. on the national stage.

I understand this is copypasta from gopack, but our Women's Team won their 30th ACC XC Championship in 2025.

We will be seeking our 31st ACC Championship this season.

Well deserved praise!
TSR stated:
"They (NC State) are the deepest"
"They are the most experienced"
"They are the most cohesive"
"They are the most talented"
"They are just the best….Period"

The appeal before the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals (re the injunctive relief against the NCAA that was previously stayed) in Wisne v. NCAA has been fully briefed by the parties and oral arguments are scheduled for 9/22.

By the first week of October, we should have some clarity about the rosters. Only a handful of athletes amongst the XC contenders are at issue, but this affects every sport at every school in Division I and potentially hundreds of athletes waiting on this decision nationwide.

28. Kaitlyn Estep '28 (Cardinal Gibbons)
41. Elle Dawson '28 (Ragsdale)
51. Colby McCollum '28 (Cuthbertson)
58. Caitlyn Kasten '27 (Marvin Ridge) - UNC
67. Bailey Brackett '27 (Rabun Gap)
71. Cali Townsend '28 (Watauga)

Madeline Dorsch was our Gatorade NC cross country Runner of the year. She also placed 14th at NXN in 17:35, just 14secs behind our own Maddie Gullickson who did 17:21.
(As an aside, on FB, saw several already suggesting "why not run for the Wolfpack"!)
