MADISON, S.D. – Dakota State (S.D.) released their 2025 women's and men's cross-country schedule, which features five regular-season meets and a pair of postseason meets.

Alex Glover, who begins his first season as the Trojan cross country head coach assisted by Taylor Hauge and graduate assistant Caleb Sayler, will be taking their teams to the Augustana (S.D.) Twilight meet at Yankton Trails in Sioux Falls on Sept. 5.  This cross-country meet will see athletes running 'under the lights' with numerous colleges from NCAA Division I to NAIA levels.  There will be high school cross-country meets prior to the college meet, starting at 6:40 p.m.  The college women's race is slated for approximately 8:30 p.m., followed by the men's race at 9 p.m.

The Trojans will take two weeks off before returning to action on Oct. 4 for the Briar Cliff (Iowa) Invitational in North Sioux City, S.D.

Dakota State wraps up their regular-season schedule on Oct. 25 in the Blazing Tiger NAIA Classic, hosted by Doane (Neb.) in Ashland, Neb.
