WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The 2024 Purdue cross country schedule has been announced, which features four regular-season meets and three postseason competitions.
The campaign begins on August 30 in Indiana and will conclude at the NCAA Championships on November 23 in Wisconsin. Two of the Boilermakers' four regular-season meets will be in Indiana. Purdue also travels to Illinois and Wisconsin twice and Ohio once during the seven-meet 2024 season.
"We are looking forward to a great cross country season to begin the 2024-25 year," Purdue head coach Tony Miller said. "Our four regular-season meets will set us up well for an always-challenging postseason, and I'm excited to be able to compete close to home so many times.
The Boilermakers once again return to the Winrow Valparaiso Open to open the season on August 30 in Valparaiso, Indiana. A trip to Savoy, Illinois, is up next on September 13, as the Fighting Illini Big Ten Preview will give the Old Gold and Black an early look at this season's Big Ten Championships course.
October begins with another trip to northern Indiana, this time in South Bend for the Joe Piane Notre Dame Invitational on October 4. The regular season will wrap up in Madison, Wisconsin, for a preview of the national championship site at the Wisconsin Pre-Nationals on October 19.
