LOUDONVILLE, NY – After completing arguably one of the most successful cross country campaigns in program history in 2022, Siena Cross Country & Track head coach John Kenworthy will look to build on recent strong performances in 2023. The 11^th year head of the program announced the team's Fall 2023 cross country slate on Tuesday.

"There is a lot of excitement heading into 2023," Kenworthy said. "We're looking to build off of a successful 2022 season, and I think this schedule gives us opportunities that will both challenge us and build confidence and momentum heading into championships late in the season."
