MARION, Ind. – Indiana Wesleyan Women's Cross Country is excited to announce the addition of 10 new incoming freshman to the team in their 2026 recruiting class.
"These young women coming into this program bring a great anticipation for the momentum building on the Wildcat Women XC Program," said Head Coach,
Brody Beiler. "Our women's team is built around pack running, and we have great confidence that this class will challenge, encourage, and elevate one another every day. They don't simply just check the boxes of our C.A.T. recruiting philosophy, but they have already created a contagious excitement throughout the summer that our current team can feel. We are eager to pursue Christ, chase excellence, and continue establishing a nationally competitive program at Indiana Wesleyan University."
