University of Alaska Anchorage Athletics

University of Alaska Anchorage Athletics operates Seawolves men’s and women’s cross country in NCAA Division II competition. UAA fields 13 NCAA teams and its cross country programme competes in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference pathway to NCAA regional and national championships. The Seawolves host the Seawolf Throwdown at Kincaid Park in Anchorage and contest meets in Alaska and the continental United States. In 2025, both squads won the Seawolf Throwdown and Forest Frenzy, then competed at the Mike Johnson Classic, Lewis Crossover, GNAC Championships, NCAA West Regional Championships and NCAA National Championships; the men finished second at the GNAC meet, fourth at regionals and 16th nationally. At the 2026 Seawolf Throwdown, UAA swept the individual and team races against Alaska Fairbanks: Natalie Allen won the women’s six-kilometre race in 22:51, while Sam Griffin won the men’s eight-kilometre race in 26:20. The Seawolf men later placed second of 12 teams at the 2026 Mike Johnson Classic in Oregon, led by Ben Peck, Sam Griffin and Ewen Wilkinson in the top ten. The programme has also produced NCAA Division II cross country All-America recognition, including John Peckham’s 25th-place national finish in 2025.
