Thomas Zimmer Championship Course to be site of national race
MADISON, Wis. – For the third time in program history, Wisconsin will host the NCAA Cross Country Championships for men and women. The NCAA announced on Wednesday that the Thomas Zimmer Championship Course will be site of the 2024 national meet.
"We're very excited about bringing the NCAA cross country championships back to Madison," said Mick Byrne, UW director of track and field, and cross country. "The 2018 edition at the Zimmer course was a huge success on many levels. Our event management staff did a first-class job from an organizational prospective and the race-day experience was next level. I've been to a lot of these championships and the 2018 Wisconsin experience was by far the most electrifying championship atmosphere I've ever been part of."
Wisconsin hosted the 2018 NCAA Championships at Zimmer with Badger Morgan McDonald winning the men's individual title. Wisconsin finished eighth in the men's race while the women finished 10th.
UW also hosted the 1978 NCAA Championships for men at Yahara Hills Golf Course on the south side of Madison where Wisconsin finished third. Â Â Â
