Virginia Beach, VA - The Regent University Men's and Women's Cross Country team has officially released its 2026 Fall Schedule.  This year's schedule features six regular season meets in addition to the Coast-To-Coast Athletic Conference Championships in Salisbury, MD.  The fall season will represent the Royals' second at the NCAA DIII level as they are coming off a 2025 season that saw the Women's team win its first ever overall meet, while the Men's team finished second for the first time.  In addition, both teams had a number of Top 15 finishes throughout the season.
