USAF ACADEMY, Colo. – Air Force Cross Country, winners of the last three Mountain West men's team titles, released its schedule for the upcoming 2023 season this afternoon (July 20), as Ryan Cole, the Falcons' Director of Track & Field and Cross Country and a five-time cross country coach of the year, announced the nine-meet schedule that begins in September.
Air Force kicks off the 2023 campaign on Friday, Sept. 1, when it hosts the annual AFXC Classic in Colorado Springs. The squad then travels to Lincoln, Neb., for the Woody Greeno/Jay Dirksen Invitational on Saturday, Sept. 16, before heading to Charlottesville, Va., to get a look at this year's national championship course at the Virginia Invitational on Saturday, Sept. 23. The Falcons return to Colorado Springs for the UCCS Open on Friday, Oct. 6, before closing out the regular season with competitions at the Nuttycombe Invitational (Madison, Wis.) and Trojan Invitational (Colby, Kan.) over the Oct. 13-14 weekend.
The Falcons' championship run begins on Friday, Oct. 27, when the men look to defend their back-to-back-to-back conference titles at the Mountain West Championships in Boise, Idaho. Air Force will then race at the NCAA Mountain Regional in Lubbock, Texas, on Friday, Nov. 10, while the 2023 season comes to a close at the NCAA Cross Country Championships in Charlotte on Saturday, Nov. 18.
Air Force, which returns defending conference champion Sean Maison and reigning MVP Halle Hamilton, is coming off a 2022 season that included the men's third-straight MW championship, Maison's conference title, the men's first top-five national ranking, an NCAA appearance from Hamilton, and a program-best seventh-place team finish from the men at the NCAA Championships.
