What makes an XC champion? (Women)
“Steeplers almost never win cross. Anybody know how many XC champs have also won the steeple? Yuot did it in his nationals triple, but the steeple was more of a side project for him than his actual race. I'd be curious to know who else has done it if anyone has that info.” – ‘steeple champs’, on the D3 XC Individual Contenders Letsrun thread Below is a full listing of cross country national champions. Primary track event was determined by taking each runner’s top finish from track national championships. All track championships are outdoors unless otherwise noted. Runners were national champions in their primary track event except where their highest finish is otherwise noted parenthetically.

parity in their primary track events. No
steeplechase winner (an event five years old at the DIII national level) has
ever won cross country.
