Washington is the host for this year s conference meet, The women will race first, kicking off the event with a 6-kilometer run at 12:10 p.m. MT. The men s 8k run will follow at 1:10 p.m. MT. Both races will be followed by a short awards ceremony.
For the fourth straight season, Pac-12 Network will broadcast the championships live. Jim Watson will serve as the play-by-play announcer and Tom Feuer will provide the color.
The Buffs have done well at the conference championship meet in the past and look to continue that tradition. The men enter as the defending champion, but only two runners who scored on that team in 2019 are racing on Friday, so it s a very different team this season.

BOULDER While no two seasons are ever the same, the 2020 NCAA Cross Country season will likely be an extremely unique case. The University of Colorado cross country teams will start the 2020 season in February of 2021. And the Buffaloes are not the only team to start the delayed many other NCAA Division I schools postponed the start of several seasons this past fall due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
But there were some schools and conferences that raced their usual season, August through October. But the big prize, the NCAA Championship, did not happen on November 21, 2020, in Stillwater, Okla., as originally scheduled. To accommodate those postponing seasons, the NCAA moved the championship back to March 15, 2021, but kept the location the same.
