On September 25, 2025, the Prairie View A&M Panthers will host the Clifton Gilliard XC Invite on their campus, emphasizing home ground advantage in track and field competition. The meet is scheduled to kick off early at 8 AM at the Gov Bill and Vara Daniel Farm and Ranch.

Last year's meet saw impressive performances from the men's team as they clinched first place. Key runner Thierry Garcon led the pack, finishing the men's 5k with a remarkable time of 15:41.92. Close on his heels was Noah Green, who secured a second-place finish with a time of 15:48.83. Their victories contributed significantly to the team's overall success.

This season, the Panthers exhibit a strong lineup with Noah Green ranking 3rd in the SWAC, followed closely by Eli Smith at 4th, Thierry Garcon at 5th, and Cristian Rios at 7th. This ranking underscores a promising setup for this year's performance at the Clifton Gilliard XC Invite, as the Panthers look to leverage their top-tier athletes to dominate the competition once again. The upcoming home meet not only serves as a platform for the athletes to showcase their prowess but also incites a ripple of excitement for fans and participants alike.
