With the 2024 NCAA Division I Cross Country Regional Championships officially in the rearview, it is time to look at the 2024 Kolas projections for the NCAA Championship. These projections are formed using the Kolas calculator, which is used by the NCAA to select the at-large team bids for the National Championship next week. 

The NCAA will announce the official fields on Saturday afternoon. We are projecting who those 31 teams (18 auto-qualifiers, 13 at-large bids) will be.
