SEATTLE – The final Pac-12 Cross Country Championships in its current shape, and final one for the Huskies, is set to go this Friday morning on what has become UW’s home turf over the past few years. Washington hosts the meet at Chambers Creek Regional Park in University Place for the second time in the past four years.
With ten of the conference’s schools set to join new conferences in 2024, this will be the last chance for Pac-12 glory for most of the teams and individuals. It will also be the only Pac-12 Championship event hosted by the University of Washington in this academic year.
Admission is free for all spectators. The Pac-12 Networks will televise the event live. The men’s race is up first, starting at 10:10 a.m., followed by the women’s championship at 11:10 a.m.

Both Husky teams finished third that season, with Haley Herberg getting a thrilling wire-to-wire individual victory. Last season, the Huskies hosted NCAA West Regionals at Chambers Creek, and again both teams placed third, while Brian Fay got the individual win for the men’s team.
The Pac-12 Championships is the first of a three-stage championship season, followed by Regionals in two weeks, then the NCAA Championships on Nov. 18.

In the current USTFCCCA rankings, the Pac-12 has six of the top-21 teams on the women’s side. Stanford is favored with a No. 5 ranking, followed by No. 9 Oregon State, No. 14 Oregon, the Huskies at No. 19, then Colorado and Utah are right behind at No. 20 and No. 21.
The men’s field is led by 9th-ranked Colorado, then Stanford…
