Who is the worst team in D1 xc?

At one time or another it has been St.Peters

Why are you a hs athlete, desperate to be able to tell people you ran d1?

here are the 5 worst from the southeast:

1. College of Charleston (952)

2. Longwood (944)

3. Winthrop (921)

4. Citadel (828)

5. Radford (789)

Marquette was bad and now they’re taking away all scholarships, so I can’t see them being any good.

Milwaukee is probably one of the best cities to run in and also a top 5 city to live in.

I would say the worst are teams that are well supported but still are really bad. Wasting resources and still sucking is worse than being bad but having no money invested.

Some teams have no scholarships, no track, and/or part time coaches. You can fault their AD but not the coach or the athletes for struggling.

Northern Colorado. Sad because if they had a coach or school that cared, they could be good with the location they are in.

UW-Green Bay

Purdue and Baylor

Purdue had good 5k guys a few years ago. Think one of their runners won midwest regionals in XC

Evansville is by far the worse team in D1 and it isn’t even close. They will be terrible no matter who is coaching that team. Has been for the past 25 years.

Longwood are bottom of the barrel. We lapped most of their team at conference a couple years ago

University of Oklahoma and tcu men’s

there is also a thread on this here

I don’t think you understand. Evansville literally has guys running 6 minutes for mile and women running almost 8 minutes and getting lapped. Is there school record for mens mile even sub 5? They would lose to most Indiana high school teams. Look it up.

I just did- I looked at the T&F roster. I looked at the non-freshmen in order to see previous season performances. Wow, I've never seen such a weak D1 roster. The best D3 teams would annihilate Evansville. My guess is no scholarships, but still, they should be able to find some decent runners. I won't names, but here are some of the PBs:

Men:

Mile- 4:32

Mile- 4:51

1500- 4:14

They show 16 men rostered for all events!

Women:

800- 2:37

800- 2:50

1500- 6:57 & 7:35 mile

A total of 10 women are rostered, for all events. In fairness, their previous coach retired and they just hired a new head coach who has a decent resume. I hope he'll bring in some decent athletes. They have nowhere to go but up.

These aren’t even close to the worst D 1 teams look up TSUs roster if you wanna see bad D 1

You must be looking at the wrong school. They do not have guys running no where near a 5 minute mile! And not a women close to a 2:37 800m. Their guys run over 6 minutes. Do they even sponsor indoors? I doubt they even run at any real competitive Indoors meets, which would make sense.

I do not think this school has any scholarships either so what you’re seeing Is what you’re going to get. They are trash and will always be trash regardless of the coach. I don’t even wanna know how bad their 5k times are my guess is guys are over 20 minutes and girls are over 25 minutes at best.
