Best scoring regular season races are classified as collegiate cups; any other events are weighted less. So far there have been 4 CCâs:
Collegiate Cup Results:
ETSU Super Sprint (on campus race)- 8/29
The final collegiate cup was completed yesturday in Illinois. Rankings come out this Wednesday which will be used to fill out the regional races. There will be an A and B wave in each region. I think itâs 75 A wave, up to 80 in B wave. Top 20 from each region qualify for the A wave at Nationals, then the next best 35 ranked athletes (from your best race score of the entire year) fill out the 75 person A wave (teams are limited with number of athletes at Nationals). There is a B and C wave at Nationals, if/when ncaa tri becomes championship status sport, there will only be 1 A wave at both the regional and nationals.
Back to elite WT rules regarding water temp, and lap out rules are in affect again (not in regular season).
Current NCAA Women results from ITU worlds: not counting anyone from AG ranks
Ruff (ASU)- DNF U23 race after collapsing 20m from the finish and trying to crawl to finish line.
Visgueiro (ETSU)- 34th U23
Clement (ASU)- 29th U23
Brown (ASU)- 25th U23
Wolfe (UoA)- 36th U23
Lakustiak (UoA)- 24th U23
Reckmann (USF)- 6th Jr
Pardy (UoA)- 21st Jr
Wentzy (UoA)- 35th Jr
Apologies if I missed anyone. Regionals is next weekend for most of these athletes (or they may skip it and qualify for nationals on their ranking). Sprint distance for NCAA (olympic for the U23 athletes this past weekend at worlds)
East regional is racing at Lake Norman near Charlotte, NC.
West regional is racing near TCU (host) in Fort Worth, TX.
Top 10 teams from â24 were alternated to each region, so you may seem some west teams in east. Top 20 from each region among A/B heat (each region is combined times and then ranked 1-XXX) will make Nationals. The remaining 35 A spots will be filled from individual rankings from entire year (regionals is weighed stronger than regular season events). There will be an A/B/C heat at nationals but individuals must have a strong enough score so no one is out there for long time delaying start of other races. Itâs roughly high 1:1X sprint time to make nationals cut.
East Regional results; they show up by division, but they are scored all together; I have that file just donâ't know how to add a file.

Eta: Arizona got a âperfectâ score by placing 1-5 (teams 1st 5 score 6-7 displace and if more than 8-10 are removed from scoring/displaced) which has only been done 1 other time in the regionals era (Queenâs in â22).
