The University of the Incarnate Word (UIW) and Trinity University cross country teams prepared for their upcoming seasons following strenuous off-season training. UIW aimed to improve upon previous Southland Conference standings, while Trinity’s women’s team sought to build momentum following a preseason national ranking of 21st.

UIW subsequently held its season-opening meet, which was renamed the ‘Sam Musgrave UIW Twilight’ to honor a former teammate who passed away in a car accident during the summer. The event included runners from six universities in the San Antonio and San Marcos regions. During the competition, the UIW men’s team secured first place and the women’s team placed second. The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) also competed, with their men’s team finishing third and their women’s team finishing fourth.
