NCAA Cross Country Preview: The Greatest Women's Team Ever, NAU Dynasty Upset Chances, Biggest Surprises + More With Isaac Wood - a podcast by CITIUS MAG Podcast With Chris Chavez

People seem to enjoy when we talk NCAA cross country in the past so I’m bringing back Isaac Wood, our cross country guru and the founder of The Wood Report to break down for us what we should watch for this season. If you go to TheWoodReportXC.com, you will find all of his rankings and ratings for each team. He goes through every school and every roster to project who will be competing at this year’s big dance in Stillwater, Oklahoma on Nov. 17. We’ve got an interesting season ahead with NAU going for its sixth title in seven years and NC State looking to become the first women’s team to go back-to-back in over a decade. Isaac has some bold takes on those teams and much more. I’ve transcribed some of his big takeaways so you can find those and his rankings at CITIUSMAG.com.
