What it actually takes to run at Cumberland
NAIA · Mid-South · TN
Cumberland signed 13 athletes for 2025-26 — including 1 international signee. What follows are their real high-school marks, not a program’s published walk-on line — the honest answer to “would they recruit me?”
Cumberland is a 2,588-student private campus in Lebanon, TN and competes in the Mid-South. Josh McMillan leads a staff of 3.
“Median” is the middle signee’s PR; “range” runs from the fastest to the slowest mark in the class. 1500m/Mile and 3000m are converted to 1600m/3200m for comparison. Pulled from verified meet results.
