The Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invite and the Pre-National Invite are usually the two best meets of the NCAA cross country season, outside of the NCAA Championships themselves. However, we wanted to know which meets are the next best when it comes to top level NCAA competition.

Based on the Saucony Flo50 pre-season team rankings, here are the top 43 races ranked where there are at least two top 25 teams facing off.

RATING = Sum of top 25 teams where #1 = 25 pts, #2 = 24 pts… #25 = 1 pt

Flotrack will be on-site to provide coverage at 12 of the top races mentioned below:
*Bold Events = FloTrack will provide live streaming coverage
*Italicized Events = FloTrack will be on-site

(Note: FloTrack will also be on-site at the NCAA XC Championships which is regarded as one of the best cross country meets in the world, but is not listed below due fields being unknown until after the NCAA Regionals)
