I never knew there was one. I have read about the Fl parties on this board (before only? Or also after not sure) but it seems like, with students having to get back to their studies and athletic department money paying for the trips, the athletes would be hustled home after getting their hardware.
The racers either go home with their parents or back to school with their teams, so basically no party.

On the men's side, I saw the top two teams (Colorado and Stanford) at the Indianapolis airport flying out a few hours after the race, so they won't be celebrating in Terre Haute. But I imagine they'll have some fun in Boulder and Palo Alto tonight.
The NCAA would never go for this, but I think it would be awesome if they put on a post-race party. I went to Japan for the Izumo Ekiden last year and their version of the NCAA put on a massive post-race banquet at a winery (open bar of course). It was a blast,
After the show its the AFTER PARTY!! They used to have an after party after d2 xc Nationals and track nationals.... BANGIN!!!!
And after the party its the HOTEL LOBBY!!!
Only a one team XC party? Sounds lame...

It still occurs.
I raced in NCAA champs in Terre Haute one year and was the alternate the other. There is no party. One year we went back to our hotel to pack and the other year we packed before the race. The second year sucked because we were all sweaty and had to switch planes twice. Also no drinking on the flights or in the airport since our coach forced us to be dry when traveling.
Most years we'd get home around 9. The other athletes would have a house party underway and we'd join and get obliterated. This was when the race was on Monday and I'd go drunk to class on Tuesday. Then I'd drive home for Thanksgiving on Wednesday.
