Gallaudet has cut its cross country program. That includes both its men’s and women’s teams. The university has struggled to find enough student-athletes to field a team at the NCAA Division III level. There were several members of this year's squad battling injuries. The student body also showed a general lack of interest in the sport. The program had only returned to competition two years ago. The school's only conference championship was won by the 1942 men's cross country team.
