The NCAA recently named Spartanburg as the destination for the 2023 NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Cross-Country Regional Championship, the first post-season NCAA event to come to Spartanburg since USC Upstate entered Division I. USC Upstate will host the event in partnership with OneSpartanburg, Inc. at the Roger Milliken Center on Friday, Nov. 10.
In 2021, Spartanburg hosted its first regional championships, the NCAA Division II & Division III Cross-Country Regionals at Milliken.
"The Roger Milliken Center is a great course, and we're happy that a new group of great athletes will experience it next November," said USC Upstate Head Cross-Country Coach Carson Blackwelder in a statement, an instrumental player in securing the bid.
Winthrop hosted the regional in 2018. Watch the the 2018 races here.
