2026 Cross Country Roster
NOTE: This roster reflects updated classification designations recommended by College Sports Communicators (CSC) ahead of the 2026-27 season to more accurately reflect updated NCAA eligibility policies, eliminating redshirts. Players on this roster are classified as Fr., Soph., Jr., Sr. and 5th year, while any Gr. designation reflects a player beyond a fifth year of playing. Their experience (1L, 2L, 3L, etc.) reflects the number of years they have participated and earned a letter at Sam Houston. True freshmen and transfers are listed as HS and TR experience, respectively.
