Utah announces that it will host the 2021 Pac-12 Cross Country Championships at the Regional Athletic Complex.
SALT LAKE CITY – The 2021 Pac-12 Men's and Women's Cross Country Championships will be held at the Regional Athletic Complex in Salt Lake City Friday, Oct. 29, cross country and track & field head coach Kyle Kepler announced.
This also serves as the first time the Utes have hosted the conference championships since joining the league in 2011. The men's 8k race will kick open the championships on Oct. 29 at the RAC before the women close things out on the 6k course and can be seen on Pac-12 Networks.
"We are very excited to host our first-ever Pac-12 Championship," Kepler said. "Our events and facilities management team has done a fantastic hosting NCAA Regionals, most recently in 2019, so we are excited to welcome in the Pac-12, our conference members and their fans to the state of Utah and Salt Lake City for a great championship event."
Stanford will look to defend its titles on both the men and women's side and become the first school to sweep the Pac-12 Cross Country Championships on both sides since Colorado did it in 2015 and 2016.
Since realignment, Washington is the only school to have an individual win on the same year it has hosted on the women's side with Haley Herberg winning the 2020 title while Stanford checks in as the only team on the men's side with an individual winner the same year it hosted in Grant Fisher back in 2018. The Cardinal men is also the only team to claim the team title the same year it hosted the championships.
