2026 Vikes track & cross-country

WXC winning 2026 U SPORTS

Celebrating success

Vikes track & cross country delivered one of its most successful seasons in recent history—powered by dedication, balance, and donor support. In a standout home championship, both men’s and women’s cross country teams captured Canada West titles in Victoria, followed by a women’s U SPORTS team championship and an individual national title.

The season concluded with continued national success, earning U SPORTS silver in the women’s indoor 4x800m and celebrating program-wide excellence with 18 Canada West All-Stars, 13 academic honour roll recipients, and two Provost Award winners.

Excellence across the program

These achievements reflect a culture rooted in high standards, consistent preparation, strong coaching, and confidence competing against the nation’s best.

Your investment in student-athletes

Donor support makes pivotal development experiences possible, including cross country training camp and the Oregon outdoor track tour. Training and competing in elite environments strengthens team culture, builds leadership, and deepens understanding of peak performance—on the track and beyond.

By supporting travel, training, and balance between academics and athletics, donors empower student-athletes to grow with purpose, pursue ambitious goals, and represent UVic with pride.

Your generosity fuels championship moments, academic success, and lifelong development—making a lasting impact on Vikes track & cross country.

From the athletes

Vikes Donor Impact varsity athletes

“Scholarships have played a huge role in my journey as a varsity athlete. Having the time to focus all my time and energy on school and training, without having the stress of paying for school, has allowed me to reach heights I would not have otherwise. We have a very demanding schedule, and it makes it challenging to find a part-time job that can accommodate that. Knowing that I have the support, both financially and otherwise, of a huge community has given me the drive to be my best. Thank you for the support
