The BYU men’s cross-country team was picked by West Coast Conference coaches to win its fourth-consecutive WCC Championship, its sixth in seven years, after receiving 63 total votes and seven first-place votes.
The Cougars earned a perfect score of 15 points on their way to sweeping the 2017 WCC Championships. The WCC experienced a successful postseason with BYU taking second at the Mountain Regional and Portland winning the West Regional. The two schools later shared the podium at NCAA Nationals after the Pilots and Cougars placed second and third overall, respectively.
Portland received 58 votes, including the last two first-place votes, to rank second in the league’s poll.
