The Wisconsin men’s and women’s cross country teams are preparing to host the Nuttycombe Invitational Friday, Oct. 17 at the Thomas Zimmer Championship Cross Country Course in Madison.
Each season, the nation’s top teams make the trip to Madison for the meet, and a strong finish at the Nuttycombe Invitational is often a good indicator of what is to come in the postseason. A total of 10 teams have won the meet and gone on to win the national championship in the same season – six on the men’s side, most recently BYU in 2024, and four on the women’s side, most recently North Carolina State in 2022.
