The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Men's Cross Country/Track & Field team are currently in second at the Mid-Year update for the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.Â
The USTFCCCA Program of the Year Award honors the institution that has achieved the most success in each academic year (spanning the cross country, indoor track & field and outdoor track & field seasons) based on the institution's finish at the NCAA Championships.
In order to be eligible for the award, teams must qualify for each of the NCAA Championships. Scoring is based on the team's finish at each NCAA Championship in cross country, indoor track & field and outdoor track & field (i.e. 1st = 1 point, 2nd = 2 points … 31st = 31 points) with the lowest total score for all three championships combined determining the award winner. Ties among schools split points for positions taken.
The Warhawks have 14 points, finishing 10th in Cross Country National Championship and 4th at the Indoor Track and Field National Championship. UW-La Crosse is in first place with 3 points (2nd in CC, 1st in Indoor T&F).
