Way Too Early NCAA Men's Cross Country Rankings 2025

Way Too Early NCAA Men's Cross Country Rankings 2025

With months until the start of the 2025 NCAA Cross Country Season, we took an early crack at the men's individual rankings.

Way Too Early NCAA Men's Cross Country Rankings 2025

The NCAA Outdoor Track and Field season may have just ended, but the ever-looming thought of cross country is on our minds yet again.

With the start of the 2025 Cross Country season officially in the windshield, we decided to take a crack at some way too early cross country rankings. Today we have subjective individual rankings on the men's side, with our individual women's rankings dropping Thursday, July 3.

To reiterate, the rankings are completely opinionated -- but previous NCAA Championship experience played a large factor in these rankings. These rankings do not include incoming freshmen from the United State or international ranks
