2025 College XC Rankings Presented By HOKA: Division I

DI Men's Individual Set #5

The 2025 cross country season is officially underway. At FloTrack - we are busy at analyzing all of the action.

Building off our pre-season rankings, these rankings are subjectively-generated  - but combine an analysis of championship experience, consistency, talent, and a tad of speculation to establish a 2025 list. Make sure you stay tuned throughout the season as we navigate the cross country schedule en-route to the 2025 NCAA Championships.
