The men's team championship was again won by Stanford (24 points), the Cardinal's second consecutive and fourth overall. This was the second best score in NCAA history and the lowest by a team of entirely American runners. UTEP's 17 point win in 1981 was accomplished with a team of African runners. Stanford placed 6 runners in the top 13 places. The women's team championship was also won by Stanford (120 points), the Cardinal's second and first since 1996. This was the third time that the same university won both team titles; Stanford accomplished this feat in 1996 and Wisconsin captured both in 1985. The two individual champions were, for the men, Dathan Ritzenhein (Colorado, 29:14.1) and, for the women, Shalane Flanagan (North Carolina, 19:30.4). It was Flanagan's second consecutive title.2003 NCAA Men's Division I Cross Country Championship Results http://trackandfieldnews.com/index.php/special-articles/314 NCAA November 20, 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20161121051613/http://trackandfieldnews.com/index.php/special-articles/314 November 21, 2016 dead2003 NCAA Women's Division I Cross Country Championship Results http://trackandfieldnews.com/index.php/special-articles/340 USTFCCCApublisher=NCAA November 20, 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20161121052421/http://trackandfieldnews.com/index.php/special-articles/340 November 21, 2016 dead Men's title Distance: 10,000 meters Men's Team Result (Top 10) Rank Team Points Stanford 24 Wisconsin 174 Northern Arizona 190 04 4 Iona 191 05 5 Arkansas 215 06 6 Colorado 261 07 7 Georgetown 283 08 8 Air Force 330 09 9 Michigan 335 10 10 NC State 346 Men's Individual Result (Top 10) Rank Name Team Time USA Dathan Ritzenhein Colorado 29:14.1 USA Ryan Hall Stanford 29:15.4 GBR Gavin Thompson Eastern Michigan 29:17.4 04 4 USA Grant Robison Stanford 29:19.2 05 5 USA Ian Dobson Stanford 29:24.7 06 6 USA Louis Luchini Stanford 29:28.2 07 7 USA Westly Keating Texas–Pan American 29:30.4 08 8 IRL Alistair Cragg Arkansas 29:33.1 09 9 CAN Simon Bairu Wisconsin 29:33.8 10 10 SWE Henrik Ahnstrom Northern Arizona 29:41.6 Women's title Distance: 6,000 meters Women's Team Result (Top 10) Rank Team Points Stanford 120 BYU 128 Providence 222 04 4 Michigan 232 05 5 Colorado 269 06 6 NC State 290 07 7 UCLA 293 08 8 North Carolina 294 09 9 Princeton 348 10 10 Notre Dame 352 Women's Individual Result (Top 10) Rank Name Team Time USA Shalane Flanagan North Carolina 19:30.4 NZL Kim Smith Providence 19:42.7 USA Sara Bei Stanford 19:49.1 04 4 CZE Michaela Mannova BYU 19:52.2 05 5 IRL Mary Cullen Providence 19:53.0 06 6 USA Alicia Craig Stanford 19:55.0 07 7 CAN Carol Henry North Carolina 19:59.3 08 8 CAN Emily Kroshus Princeton 20:03.9 09 9 SWE Ida Nilsson Northern Arizona 20:05.5 10 SWE Johanna Nilsson Northern Arizona 20:07.0 References Category:NCAA cross country championships NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships Iowa Hawkeyes Iowa NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships Category:Sports in Waterloo, Iowa Category:Track and field competitions in Iowa Category:College sports tournaments in Iowa Category:Northern Iowa Panthers track and field
