The women’s cross country team has enjoyed tremendous success the last few years, winning the national championship in 2021, 2022 and again in 2023. The team is also on a streak of eight consecutive ACC championships. The team’s recent championships got us thinking about other winning streaks by NC State teams through the years.
Women’s Cross Country
8 consecutive ACC championships, marked in recent seasons by strong performances from All Americans Katelyn Tuohy and Kelsey Chmiel ’21.
(2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022)
