ROLLA, Mo. — Missouri S&T men's and women's cross-country teams will travel to Springfield, Missouri, on Saturday, Nov. 7, to compete in the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championships.

The championship will take place at Allison Sports Town. The men's 8,000-meter run begins at 9 a.m., followed by the women's 6,000-meter run at 10 a.m.

After the races, the top-placing men's and women's teams will be named the 2026 GLVC Champions. Additionally, the top-20 individual finishers for each gender will be named All-GLVC, and the winner of each race will be named the GLVC Runners of the Year. Top finishers on both sides will earn GLVC Freshman of the Year honors.

The Miners enter the conference championship after a strong showing at the Bradley "Pink" Classic, where both teams finished top-11. The men's team finished 11th out of 26 teams, while the women finished 9th out of 21 teams.

The men's team, ranked 21st nationally, will look to carry its momentum into the championship meet. Missouri S&T finished the Bradley "Pink" Classic with 281 points, led by Nate Liebetreu, who placed 59th overall in 25 minutes, 58.5 seconds.
