Thank you for your interest in covering the 2026 Southeastern Conference Cross Country Championship.
In order to apply for a credential, please fill out the form below. Please note that APPLICATION SUBMISSION DOES NOT GUARANTEE ACCESS/CREDENTIAL APPROVAL. Credentials are provided to working members of the media to assist in the coverage of Southeastern Conference events. Credentials are not transferable, revocable and must be worn at all times while on the Gans Creek Cross Country Course facility.
Application and Approval
- Credentials must be requested no later than Monday, October 12, at 5 p.m. CT.
- Media Will Call is located at the main entrance of the Gans Creek Cross Country Course facility where the ticket scanners are located.
- Media credentials may be issued to working members of the media representing recognized media outlets in the business of news gathering/sports reporting as a primary function of their business. The types of media outlets eligible for credentials include newspapers, websites, magazines, wire services, college (sport-specific) publications, TV, radio and podcasts. The dissemination of editorial content must be a primary purpose of the media outlet, and the outlet must demonstrate a record of sustained, original coverage of college sports on a regular basis.
- Credentials will not be issued to representatives whose outlet exists solely as a platform for distributing unoriginal content (press releases, press conference footage or aggregate news sites). Online outlets should typically be affiliated with a national or regional media organization, or host a website that provides substantial coverage of college athletics and/or Mizzou Athletics, and employ at least one full-time, permanent employee responsible for producing the site’s content. Outlets that are message boards without regular, substantial news/editorial/feature coverage by a full-time journalist could be denied credentials. Representatives should be on assignment for that outlet with a specific editorial assignment or will be subject to revocation.
