They are coached by Louie Quintana (far right), a former high school national cross country champion and top runner for Villanova. The Duke women were favored to win the title this year. But as the Wisconsin men learned last year, nothing is ever guaranteed, especially in cross country. The Blue Devils finished third with 185 points (just four points behind runner-up CU and six ahead of Arizona State). Duke is coached by Kevin Jermyn (right). Even though third place wasn't what they were shooting for, the team was all smiles at the awards ceremony.

Stanford wasn't expected to win the team title, but they knew they could sneak in there, especially if others faltered. This was a big victory for first-year Stanford coach (but longtime Wisconsin coach) Peter Tegen (holding the trophy).
