GREENVILLE, N.C. – The East Carolina cross country program will compete at the American Athletic Conference Championships on Friday in Tulsa, Okla. The meet will be streamed on ESPN+ and live results will be available here.

In the event a year ago, the Pirate women claimed their best finish since 2015 with a fifth-place effort while the men took sixth. The teams will look to improve upon the efforts last season, this time under the tutelage of first-year head coach Billy Caldwell.
"I am excited for our women to race this weekend. They have been progressing so nicely throughout the year and have amazing momentum going into this championship," said Caldwell. "And the men are looking to build on the great performance from the home meeting going into the championship!  Going up against some of the best teams in the country it will be a true test for our guys!"
