SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Campbell men's and women's cross country teams wrapped up the 2026 season Friday morning at the NCAA Southeast Regional Championships. 

In the women's 6K, Campbell totaled 666 points to finish 18th among 38 scoring teams. The result marked a significant improvement from last season's 31st-place finish and the best regional finish in program history, surpassing the previous mark of 24th place in 2014.

"This is the epitome of a great team day," head coach Evan Darm said. "This women's team all year has believed in each other and their hard work. I am so proud to see all of the dedication pay off in the post season."

WOMEN'S 6K

Senior Emily Pierce paved the way for the Camels, finishing 81st overall with a time of 21:14.4.

Sophomore Delaney Horton and junior Emelyn Lacour rounded out Campbell's top three, clocking times of 21:38.4 and 22:22.4, respectively.

Junior Jenna VanRyn notched a personal-best time of 22:45.6.

The Camels finished ahead of several in-state programs, including Davidson, App State, UNC Asheville and Queens.

MEN'S 10K

Freshman Ethan Rich represented Campbell in the men's 10K, making his collegiate debut at the distance. Rich clocked a time of 31:54.6, the 13th-fastest 10K in program history.

"This was a great learning opportunity for Ethan," Darm said. "A regional 10K race is unlike any other races that we run. I am excited to see what he can do in the future at bigger races like this."
