The 2011 Southern Conference Cross Country Championships will be held on Saturday, October 29th, 2011 at Trophy Lakes in Charleston, S.C on Johns Island. The College of Charleston will be hosting the event. This will be the 82nd annual Cross Country Championship for the men and the 27th for the women. The 2010 Cross Country Championships ended with both Appalachian State University men's team and Samford University women's team defending their team titles by being named 2010 Conference Champions.
The Appalachian State men were led by sophomore Will Raby and had five runners in the top fifteen to claim the conference title for the sixth consecutive year with 55 points. Appalachian State, who was last year's preseason favorites to win the conference, placed four runners on the second-team all-conference team, which included Raby, Brandon Hudgins, Alex Taylor, and Sean Soderman. The UNCG men finished in second place with 66 points.
The Samford women claimed their second consecutive conference title with 71 points after placing two runners in the top five. The Bulldogs, who were tabbed as preseason favorites, were led by sophomore Lauren D'Alessio, who finished in second place overall and earned first-team all-conference honors. Senior Hillary Neal also earned first-team honors after finishing in third place. Senior Ina Ables earned second-team all-conference, and Claire Grogan claimed all-freshman honors for the Bulldogs.
