The most competitive conference meet in the country features five of the top 12 teams on the men's side (including #1 Colorado and #2 Oregon) and six ranked women's squads. The two big winners two weeks ago, Edward Cheserek (Pre-Nats) and Maksim Korolev (Wisconsin) wills square off in the men's race, while Shelby Houlihan will look to fend off freshmen sensations Elise Cranny and Bethan Knights in the women's race.

In anticipation of Saturday's NCAA championships, we have crunched the numbers and the LRC super computer tells us the most powerful NCAA cross-country conference in the land is ... the Ivy League??? Say it ain't so. PAC-12 fans may disagree.
