NEW ORLEANS — What a year it was!
With all three championships in the books – cross country and both indoor and outdoor track & field – it’s time to look at the final standings for the USTFCCCA Program of the Year Awards across five collegiate divisions: NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, NAIA and the NJCAA.
The USTFCCCA Program of the Year Award honors the institution that has achieved the most success in each academic year (spanning the cross country, indoor track & field and outdoor track & field seasons) based on the institution’s finish at their respective Championships.
In order to be eligible for the award, teams must qualify for each of the Championships. Scoring is based on the team’s finish at each Championship in cross country, indoor track & field and outdoor track & field (i.e. 1st = 1 point, 2nd = 2 points … 31st = 31 points) with the lowest total score for all three championships combined determining the award winner. Ties among schools split points for positions taken.
