Who Would Win An NCAA All-Star Meet?

Who Would Win An NCAA All-Star Meet?

Who Would Win An NCAA All-Star Meet?



How cool would this be?

Everyone loves a good all-star competition. Getting to see the best of the best join forces to compete against the opposite league for bragging rights is always fun. Imagine if the NCAA allowed for this to happen in running!?

We decided to have a little fun and conduct a virtual all-star cross-country meet to see the top conferences compete against each other to decide which conference has the best cross-country squad.

First, we created the conference squads based on the top seven finishers at each conference championship. We then ranked the 49 athletes based off of their Saucony Flo50 individual ranking. If an athlete is not ranked in the top 25 we based their finish off of current season results and our own judgements. Obviously, the projected finish order is up for debate, but for entertainment purposes we took a crack at how we believed the athletes would finish.
