2025 Regional Review
Last year, the Tiger women placed second at the West Region meet, finishing behind team champion Claremont Mudd-Scripps. Alison Mueller-Hickler won the race to become the third regional champion in program history, joining Annabel Arnott (1995) and Gretchen Grindle (1997). Flint earned all-region honors.
 
CC has won three team regional titles, in 1996, '97 and '98.
 
On the men's side, CC finished second at the West Region behind individual champion Will Shuflit to qualify for the national meet. Mangat and Diego Escalante earned all-region honors.
 
Up Next
Following the West Regional Meet, the Tigers will look to receive a bid for the Division III National Championship, which runs on Saturday, Nov. 21, in Northfield, Minn.
 
The winning team from the 10 regions around the country automatically qualifies for the NCAA Division III National Championship, while 22 other teams from around the country will be selected as at-large bids. The top seven individuals that are not on that team or other teams selected at-large also advance to the national meet. The team and individual selections will be announced on Sunday, Nov. 15.
