Each autumn since 1958, the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) has hosted men's cross country championships. Since 1991, the NJCAA has had three separate division championships. Teams and individual runners qualify for the championship at regional competitions approximately a week before the national championships, typically held in November.

Qualifying

The NJCAA splits the country into 24 regions. Of those regions, 15 host regional meets. In order to qualify to participate in the national championships a team must participate in their region championship, if the region holds a championship. If the region does not hold a championship, the teams in the region qualify by default. There are no minimum performance standards to participate in the national championship.[1]

History

Champions

  • Prior to 1991, only a single national championship was held between all members of the NJCAA; Division II existed from 1991 to 2003 and 2020-present and Division III started in 1991.[2]
