Join Kevin and Gordon, on March 13th and March 15th for three NCAA Championship watch parties. There have never been back-to-back track and cross country championships (and hopefully there never will be again), which means there will be plenty to discuss, debate and analyze. Morgan McDonald and Courtney Frerichs will join the team on Monday for the cross country championships.

November 22, 2014, was a magical day for Michigan State director of cross country and track and field, Walt Drenth.  His Spartan women, six of whom came from Michigan high schools, showed their superior depth and dominated the NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships in Terre Haute, Ind., despite putting only one athlete --sophomore Rachele Schulist-- in the top-10.  They scored 85 points to Iowa State's 147, giving Michigan State their first and only women's national cross country title.

Clemson University announced on Thursday that it is cutting men’s indoor and outdoor track and field and cross country effective June 2021, becoming the first Power Five school to eliminate all three programs in 2020.
