[Creighton Bluejays @gocreighton]

Creighton added Women's Cross Country in 1982. The program, which started as cross country only, expanded to include track & field in 2022.

The Bluejays have made significant strides in a short time, making their first appearance at the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships in 2024. Also:

👟 Creighton Women's Cross Country won the 2024 Platte River Rumble for the first time.

👟 Sophomore Taylor Rorick broke Creighton’s 5K indoor track record at the 2025 Iowa State Classic.

👟 Creighton Women's Cross Country will host the BIG EAST Championships in 2025.

And these student-athletes maintain a department-leading GPA of 3.82. 👟📚💙

Each and every Bluejay, past and present, contributes to the continued success of our female athletic program. Once Blue, always Blue. Give today at https://t.co/n5Yu99a5S7

Instead of placing unabashed happiness and toxic positivity on a pedestal—or falling prey to doom loops and despair—do what you can to embrace tragic optimism.

Tragic optimism means accepting pain, loss, and suffering and still finding meaning and maintaining hope nonetheless.

A new meta-analysis on the impact of goal setting on performance found:

1. Process goals had a large effect on performance
2. Performance goals had a moderate effect
3. Outcome goals had a negligible effect

Ryan Montera just became Creighton's first man to ever compete in the @BIGEAST Track Championship, doing so in record-breaking fashion.

The Colorado native just smashed the school-record in the 10,000 meters by 25 seconds!

How you talk to yourself matters.

In one study on lifting weights, goal directed self-talk "enhanced performance by 43% once an RPE of eight was reached, resulted in 63% more repetitions, and demonstrated more efficient muscle activation patterns."

[Creighton XCTF @CreightonXC]

HISTORY!

Freshman Claire Pyne becomes Creighton's first student-athlete to ever compete in the @BIGEAST Track Championship as she places 12th in the 10,000 meters.
