SCOUTING REPORT

UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO
Runcruit
Last updated: July 22, 2026

Overview

U of San Diego is operating with a distance-centered profile built around women’s track and field, women’s cross country, and men’s cross country, with its clearest recruiting emphasis on developing competitive endurance groups rather than broad event coverage. Across those programs, San Diego is balancing moderate Division I recruiting standards with meaningful upcoming distance turnover, so its current roster-building focus is squarely on adding reliable scorers and depth in the middle- and longer-distance pipeline to strengthen conference relevance and raise its national competitiveness.

U of San Diego sponsors men’s cross country but not men’s track and field, so its men’s recruiting lens is concentrated entirely on distance running. The Toreros are pursuing solid Division I-caliber cross country recruits with the strongest attention on athletes who can translate into 5000-meter and 1500-meter strength, and the upcoming loss of experienced distance runners makes this class especially important for preserving lineup stability and improving pack depth.

On the women’s side, U of San Diego is clearly organized around distance across both cross country and track and field, and that event group is the program’s primary competitive identity. With outgoing athletes set to leave both women’s cross country and women’s track distance, San Diego is actively replenishing its 800 meters through 5000 meters range, prioritizing recruits who can contribute early in cross country while also reinforcing the track squad’s middle-distance and longer-distance scoring options.

U of San Diego is currently looking for women who can help immediately in the 5000 meters, 1500 meters, and 800 meters, plus men who can upgrade cross country depth through strong 5000-meter and 1500-meter ability. Because its standards are most intentional in distance and its pending departures are concentrated there, San Diego is recruiting durable aerobic athletes who can score in the WCC, handle cross country volume, and support year-round distance development within a Division I academic setting.
