MEN
THE BIG 12 delivered the excitement, with #3 Colorado just edging #2 Oklahoma State by 2 points, 36–38. “They ran a great team race,” said Buffaloes head Sean Carlson. BYU (#5) ran a well-back 3rd with 91 points, and Iowa State (#20) stayed close with 110. The Cowboys claimed the individual winner in #8 Denis Kipngetich while Colorado had 4 in the top 10, led by runner-up Dominic Serem.
The formchart held strong at the SEC meet, with #4 Alabama (37), #7 Arkansas (76) and #9 Florida (82) finishing in order. Florida’s #9 Kelvin Cheruiyot handily beat a strong Alabama trio of #10 Dismus Lokira, Rodgers Plimo (AKA Minatum) and Dennis Kipruto.
Oregon (#6) once again easily took the Big 10 with 23 points, led by winner Simeon Birnbaum, who topped Wisconsin’s Archie Noakes. Wake Forest (#10) was the surprise of the ACC meet, scoring 48 points while favored Syracuse (#8) had to go to a tiebreaker with #13 Stanford as each scored 94. Louisville’s #4 Elsingi Kipruto finished nearly 50m ahead of Wake Forest’s #1 Rocky Hansen.
As expected, #1 New Mexico had an easy time of it in the Mountain West, but this easy? The Lobos went 1–7, led by Evans Kiplagat in 22:54.3.

The Alabama women (#9) made it an SEC sweep by upsetting Florida (#4), winning by 32. The Crimson Tide’s undefeated Caren Kiplagat came out on top in a tight battle with Arkansas’s #6 Isca Chelangat, 18:46.5–18:47.9.
The Oregon women (#15) took their third-straight Big 10, beating Northwestern 35–90. Diana Cherotich and Juliet Cherubet gave the Ducks a 1–2, with Indiana frosh Katy Zang 3rd. At the ACC, #2 NC State cruised to the win, notching 65 points; #8 Notre Dame finished way back in 6th. In 1st, #4 Hannah Gapes ran a dominating 18:23.8 on the Blacksburg course to finish nearly 200m ahead of Silvia Jelelgo of Clemson.
At the Mountain West, #6 New Mexico won easily with 19 points. Lobo (#3) Pamela Kosgei blasted a fast 18:49.4 on the Nevada course. Northern Arizona (#5) owned the Big Sky, winning with 16 points; the Lumberjacks’ Ava Mitchell won the 5K race in 15:35.1.
