The Blue Oval Podcast: NCAA XC Qualifying Instant Reactions

The NCAA selection committee gave us a TON to talk about. Ben and Garrett offer their live, instant reactions on the newly announced team qualifiers for the NCAA XC Championships. Listen to all of the analysis on a special edition of the Blue Oval Podcast... NOTES: We incorrectly stated that the Notre Dame women beat the Ole Miss women twice in cross country. However, Notre Dame only beat Ole Miss once in the past year. It is possible that certain teams may have opted not to declare for consideration to the NCAA XC Championships. That could possibly explain why certain programs were left out. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
