The Augustana College men’s cross country team continued its dominance of the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference winning its sixth straight team championship on Saturday in Wayne, Neb. The Vikings women regained their spot at the top of the conference winning their sixth team title in the past seven seasons.
“We are extremely pleased with how our teams performed at the conference championships,” head coach Tracy Hellman said. “Championship teams require a lot of things to go right, but the biggest thing is a great team performance and we got that today.”
On the women’s side, Augustana and Minnesota Duluth tied in team points but the Vikings won the NCAA tiebreak to reclaim the conference crown after the Bulldogs stopped Augustana from winning its sixth straight NSIC women’s title last season.
The Augustana men’s team posted a near-perfect score of 22, placing five runners in the top seven, to secure their sixth consecutive NSIC title.
