There were five women’s teams and four men’s teams that landed all seven of their runners on the All-Region lists. Those women’s teams are Atlantic champion Geneseo State, South/Southeast champion Emory, New England champion Williams, West runner-up Claremont-Mudd-Scripps and Mideast champion Johns Hopkins. Joining those women’s teams with that distinction are the following men’s teams – Mideast champion Haverford, West champion Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, West runner-up Pomona-Pitzer and Mideast third-place team Carnegie Mellon.

To break it down further, the men’s All-Region list was dominated by runners from NESCAC teams. Out of the 35 runners who earned All-Region honors from their effort in the New England Region, 33 were from the NESCAC. The next closest conferences were the SCIAC (22) and WIAC (21).

The top conference in the women’s All-Region list was the UAA (25) with the NESCAC (23) close behind.

The NCAA Division III Cross Country Championships will be held Saturday, November 21 at the Lake Breeze Golf Course in Winneconne, Wisconsin.
