During the 2025 NCAA Division I Northeast Regional Men’s Cross Country Championship in Hopkinton, NH, Syracuse clinched the team title with an impressive display, placing several runners in the top 15 to earn their automatic qualification for nationals. Iona finished in second place, maintaining its history of strong performances at regionals.

Despite a strong season and hopes of breaking into the top two, Harvard finished outside the automatic qualifying range. Their depth wasn’t enough to match Syracuse’s dominance or Iona’s consistency. Harvard will now have to rely on the at-large selection process, which considers season-long performances and head-to-head results. While they remain in contention, their regional finish weakened their case.
