Aside from the 18 automatic qualifiers, the NCAA Division I Cross Country Subcommittee selects 13 at-large teams to fill out a 31-team field for competition at nationals.  

No. 2 BYU men’s cross country will face six ranked opponents in The Duke City, including rival No. 3 Northern Arizona, No. 5 Air Force and No. 9 Colorado.

No. 6 BYU women’s cross country is one of five top-10 ranked women’s teams in the Mountain Region. Others include No. 2 New Mexico, No. 4 Northern Arizona, No. 8 Colorado and No. 9 Utah.

BYU hosted the 2021 Mountain Regional at Provo’s Timpanogos Golf Club. There, the BYU men won the region championship with four top-10 finishers in Conner Mantz, Casey Clinger, Brandon Garnica and Aidan Troutner. The BYU women took third at the meet as Anna Camp-Bennett and Aubrey Frentheway finished sixth and seventh, respectively.

Both BYU programs are coming off a dominant sweep of the West Coast Conference cross country championships on Oct. 28. Clinger and Garnica led the men to a win with 18 points while Clinger also captured the individual conference crown. Frentheway’s individual women’s championship fueled the BYU women to a 30-point finish and their fifth-straight conference title.
