Wildcats Announce 2025 Cross Country Schedule

TUCSON, Ariz. — Arizona Cross Country has unveiled its 2025 schedule, a competitive fall slate highlighted by the annual Dave Murray Invitational in Tucson and a competitive postseason path through the Big 12 and NCAA Championships.

The Wildcats will open the season on August 30 at the NAU George Kyle Classic in Flagstaff, Ariz., before returning home on September 27 to host the Dave Murray Invitational at the Tucson Country Club. Arizona will also travel to Riverside, Calif., for the Highlander Invitational on October 18 ahead of the Big 12 Championship on October 31 in Lawrence, Kan.

Postseason competition continues with the NCAA West Regional Championships on November 14 in Sacramento, Calif., and concludes at the NCAA Championships on November 22 in Columbia, Mo. Associate Head Coach Jay Koloseus, who oversees the Wildcats' cross country program, is eager to see his team in action.

"What an exciting time in Tucson! We cannot wait to get off and running — literally and figuratively — with this fall season," Koloseus said. "It's going to be a pivotal time to develop our returners, newcomers, and team culture. Being able to honor the great Dave Murray at the Tucson Country Club with the Dave Murray Invitational is also tremendous. Bear Down."

Head Cross Country and Track & Field Coach Andrew Dubs echoed the excitement for the season ahead.

"We are really excited about the upcoming cross country season and schedule," Dubs said.
"We have a great group of newcomers combined with our experienced returners, and we look forward to a competitive season this fall. Hosting the Dave Murray Invitational is a staple on our schedule and a tremendous opportunity to honor Coach Murray and celebrate our alumni."
