Where: Stillwater OK
When: Monday March 15th: Women's race at 12:50pm EST and Men's race at 1:40pm EST
31 teams and 38 individuals competing in both the Women's and Men's races.
It is a real honor that the Women's and Men's team both qualified for the National Championships, only a couple of other schools can claim the same this year.
Anyone have any idea when the last time that both Georgetown Women's and Men's teams qualified in the same year?

Okay no quick responses so I looked it up: 2015 was the last year that both the Georgetown Women's and Men's XC teams both qualified in the same year.
The real hero on the men's side was Jack Salisbury, who elected to come back as a graduate student to finish up his eligibility. I don't know Jack but remember him from his high school days as part of the trio (including Matt Bouthilette) that all broke 9 in the 2 mile for LaSalle Academy. During his undergraduate years he was best known for his accomplishments on the track. But he decided to come back and run XC and he led his team to the National Championship!!

Any chance of a victory for either team or any individuals?

Not much of a chance. Hoping for top 20 (of 31 teams) from both teams. Sami Corman should be our highest finisher. This should be a preview for next year as we are pretty young.

Any chance of a victory for either team or any individuals? It would be quite the upset, but hopefully we can place better than our ranks going in and get some All-Americans. 31 teams qualify for nationals. The Georgetown men are ranked 28th going in and the women 21st. |

Only 3 of your top 31 didn't make it - Umass, Oregon, Michigan. They were replaced by Georgetown (33) , Villanova (34) and Duke (35).
So the men were one of the last three to be invited.
The course in Oklahoma is said to be very hilly.
