2016 NCAA Men’s Cross Country Individual Qualifiers + Their PRs

By LetsRun.com
November 11, 2016

Below you will find the 38 men that we are projecting will garner at-large selection to the 2016 NCAA Cross Country Championships. We’ve also listed their track PRs so you can see what type of accomplishments it takes to make it.

The top 4 men in each region not on teams qualifying for NCAAs make the meet assuming they are in the top 25 in the region, plus two extra at-large selections also make it (the  at-large picks are shown in red below). There weren’t four men at-large selections in the top 25 of the Mountain Region so there ended up being three at-large selections.

NOTE: We are aware that Flotrack has released their own team projections and ours differs significantly from theirs as explained here. If different at-large teams get in, then it will impact the list below. Update: For the 2nd year in a row, Flotrack has admitted their initial predictions were wrong and yet again they are now agreeing with us. MB: Did Flotrack screw up again and give out the wrong NCAA predictions?

Article continues below player.

But please remember these projections are UNOFFICIAL. The official qualifiers will be posted on NCAA.com by 3 p.m. ET on Saturday, November 12.
