The Prairie View A&M Panthers men's cross country team is gearing up for a significant event this season with the SWAC Cross Country Championships set to take place on October 27, 2025, at the Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee, Florida. The Panthers, led by standout runners Thierry Garcon and Noah Green, are looking to build on their strong historical performances to capture another title.

Last season, the men's team finished as the runners-up, showcasing strong individual performances with Thierry Garcon finishing second and Noah Green taking fourth place, both earning All-SWAC first team honors. The team's robust history in the championships is highlighted by their victory in 2014 and consistent top 3 finishes in recent seasons. This year, the team aims to reclaim the championship spot.

Alongside Garcon and Green, key runners Kejun Wilson, Eli Smith, and Cristian Rios are pivotal to the Panthers' strategy. Ranked 4th and 8th respectively going into the championships, Garcon and Green's contributions will be crucial as they lead the team against a competitive field. The Panthers are meticulously preparing, focusing on strategy and endurance to maximize their performance in the challenging Florida terrain.

The SWAC Cross Country Championships not only tests the athletes' capabilities but also brings significant attention to Prairie View A&M's esteemed cross country program. With the entire team pushing towards a singular goal, the Panthers are a team to watch at this year's championships.

The men's 8k is set to begin at 9am EST. The meet will be streamed live and live results will be available during the meet.
