Women's cross country started at Goshen in 1986 under head coach Lyle Miller. 2023 was the first year that the team qualified for nationals, placing 15th at the meet. Petrana Petkova is the only runner in the team's history to be a multiple-time All-American, doing so from 2004-2006. At the 2004 national championship, she placed 12th overall, the highest national finish for a GC cross country runner.
