A look back at Galen Rupp's first NCAA title (and an examination of his strange fashion choices) and the Oregon men's last team title, a historically loaded Oregon team, and why the Washington women were like the 1985 Chicago Bears. *MB: What's the most loaded NCAA men's xc team in history? Was 2008 Oregon with Rupp, Puskedra, Biwott, Centro and Wheating?

We break down the men's distance action for this weekend's NCAA Champs which are LOADED with 11 guys under 3:58, 12 guys under 7:50, 4 under 13:30 plus the fastest DMR team in NCAA history. *MB: 2020 NCAA Indoors men's fields are LOADED. Who you got?

We hand out awards, including Runner of the Decade, Upset of the Decade, & Program of the Decade. Plus, what were the best single-season teams of the last 10 years?

We begin our 2019 NCAA XC countdown by unveiling the back half of the LRC top 10 which includes some big names - #10 Ok State, #9 Portland,#8 Colorado, #7 Oregon, #6 Notre Dame.

We begin our 2019 NCAA XC countdown by unveiling the first half of the LRC top 10.

Mark Wetmore says that NCAA xc is "chaotic and unpredictable." That certainly could be true this year as 5 teams have a legitimate shot at the title - UNM, Oregon, Colorado, Boise State, and Arkansas.

Additionally, Pete Watson (formerly of UVA) will be moving to coach the men's distance runners at Texas.

The men's race could come to an anchor battle of a tired Josh Kerr vs. a fresh Grant Fisher. Who would have the edge? In the women's race, Stanford and Oregon are our two favorites. *MB: 2018 NCAA DMR Discussion Thread - Who wins if it comes down to a tired Josh Kerr vs fresh Grant Fisher? Oregon or Stanford?

This is one of the more exciting team battles in recent memory, as there are 5 teams that legitimately think they can win the NCAA title on Saturday. Who has the edge Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon, San Fran or Stanford?

There should be some great matchups this weekend. Justyn Knight vs. Grant Fisher (and Morgan McDonald?) at Wisconsin. Katie Rainsberger vs. Karissa Schweizer at Pre-Nats. No. 1 NAU vs. No. 3 Syracuse vs. No. 4 Stanford in the men's race at Wisconsin. No. 1 Colorado vs. No. 2 Oregon vs. No. 4 Michigan in the women's race at Pre-Nats. Get excited. *MB: Official 2017 Wisco / Pre-Nats Discussion Thread- Who you got? 

It's really hard to predict how traditional powers Oregon and Wisconsin will do in 2017 as Oregon lost King Ches and Wisco may or may not redshirt their star Morgan McDonald.

What a way for the Ducks to complete the triple crown.

Oregon's drive for the 1st-ever women's triple crown is one of just 5 story lines we give you to follow. They include the return of Allie Ostrander to an NCAA champs after a year plus absence and is Dani Jones the favorite in the loaded women's 1500?  

King Ches certainly had an amazing career but Gerry Lindgren only lost once at NCAA championship, Henry Rono set a world record in four different events in one season, and Suleiman Nyambui won just as many NCAA individual titles but also secured an Olympic medal and had better pbs at the 1,500, mile, 5000 and 10,000.

Cheserek is definitely going for the triple but we think he may attempt the quadruple. Learn what you need to know about NCAA Indoors.

Believe it or not, the Oregon women have never won the DMR at NCAAs. Look for that to change on Friday as we think the Ducks will win both DMR titles.
