LRC Note. This thread was initially only about the men's race. We changed the title to reflect both races.
Here is the Stanford recap of their first team sweep since 2010
https://gostanford.com/news/2021/3/5/cross-country-a-stanford-sweep.aspxNeither the Oregon release nor the Oregon paper has any explanation for why Oregon didn't even field a full women's team. Can you imagine if a basketball team only played 4 players and neither the local press or school reported why they only had 4 players?
https://goducks.com/news/2021/3/5/cross-country-mestler-takes-third-at-pac-12-championships.aspxThe local newspaper has no explanation either. And this is for a program that just built a $200 million stadium (admittedly that's track, this is xc).
