Every Nuttycombe Invitational champion that has won the NCAA cross country title in the same year

2022 DI women's NCAA cross country championship | FULL RACE

One premier invitational in collegiate cross country, the Nuttycombe Invitational, has a strong correlation to the eventual winners of the DI men's and women's cross country championships. Eight of the last 18 DI cross-country champions (excluding the pandemic-altered 2020 season) have won "The Nutty."

This year, the Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational returns on Friday, Sept. 27, 2024, at Thomas Zimmer Championship Cross Country Course where two races per gender will take place. The women's and men's "B" races will take place first. The women's and men's "A" races will start after the "B" races conclude and be the final events of the Invitational.

The 2022 DI women’s champion, NC State, is the most recent program to achieve the feat, winning the invitational hosted by Wisconsin at Thomas Zimmer Championship Cross Country Course. Here's a look at every cross country program — men's and women's — to win both the Nuttycombe Invitational and NCAA DI cross country title in the same year.
