INDIANAPOLIS - The IU Indianapolis men's cross country program and Director of Track & Field/Cross Country Justin Roeder announced the program's 2025 fall schedule with all six meets coming inside state lines. The Jags will open the season with a home meet at Northview Church in Carmel, Ind., followed by in-state trips to Fort Wayne, South Bend and Evansville. The postseason will include the Horizon League Championships in Fort Wayne and NCAA Great Lakes Regional Championships in Evansville. 

Roeder's squad will return to the nearby Northview Church course on Aug. 29 for this year's opener, followed by a trip to Fort Wayne for the Mastodon Open on Sept. 20. IU Indy will then compete in the hotly contested Notre Dame Joe Piane Invitational on Oct. 3 before closing the regular season at the Angel Mounds Invitational in Evansville on Oct. 17. 

The Horizon League Championships will run Nov. 1 in Fort Wayne, followed by the NCAA Great Lakes Regional on Nov. 14. 

The Jaguars are coming off three straight #HLXC runner-up finishes and placed tenth at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional last season. The squad returns two of its top-five conference finishers from a season ago in Luke Shappell and Matt Mitsch along with a group of talented sophomores that includes Riley Nixon, Joey Ashman, Sam Grimes and Cameron Smith, all of whom competed at conference as well. 

A full recruiting class announcement will come later this summer.
