The Rams Take on 2026
The Rams enter the 2026 season with a men's squad featuring a mix of freshmen and transfers, while the women's team returns a strong group of experienced runners.
Head coach
Antonio Wells is looking for several newcomers and returning athletes to provide leadership as the Rams begin the season.
On the men's side,
Mason Williams-Murray and
Zion Green are expected to take on leadership roles as the young Rams look to make significant strides throughout the season.
Jyyheir Morrison also returns to provide experience to the men's squad.
The women's team enters the season with a veteran group that will look to compete at a high level throughout the conference and region. Led by returners
Ava Millner and
Elicia Bryant, the Rams are aiming to make an immediate impact.
Wells views Friday's meet as an important starting point for both teams and an opportunity to evaluate the progress made during preseason training. The Blue Bear Invitational will provide the Rams with their first opportunity to establish a baseline for the season while continuing to develop as a team.
