Wisconsin Secures 63rd Championship Appearance in Program History
MADISON, Wis. – For the 63rd time in school history, the Wisconsin men's cross country team will compete at the NCAA championships as UW earned an at-large bid to the 2025 NCAA Cross Country Championships on Saturday.
The Badgers earned one of 12 at-large bids for this year's championships in Columbia, Missouri next Saturday. It marks the eighth-straight year UW will race at the national meet.
The at-large selection comes on the heels of a strong regional performance in Evansville, where the Badgers scored 99 points to secure third place.

Wisconsin is one of 15 schools in the country to have both their men's and women's teams qualify for the NCAA championships.
