I have read 100’s of posts on this board about Huntington and their women’s team. Articles and posts make it out like they were a powerhouse. The fact is for the top teams they were a complete non factor (top teams barely knew who they were) they had a few good individual runners but the perception on this board is they were a women’s distance NAIA powerhouse (not even close)
Huntington Women at XC Nats
2021 Nats 9th place
2020 12th at Nats
2019 17th at Nats
2018, 2017 no team appearance etc.
In the NAIA, there is a huge separation from the top 4 women’s teams and let’s say teams 11-15 (3-4 min TT)
Huntington did win a recent indoor team national title. But, the truth is indoor NAIA team success is quite easy. 1/2 the teams do not field a team and the majority of the teams that do only field a partial team.
