Carius Program of the Year Award standings.
The Al Carius Program of the Year Award is awarded annually to the most
outstanding NCAA Division III men’s cross country/track & field program. The

academic year (spanning the cross country, indoor track & field, and outdoor
track & field seasons) based on the institution’s finish at the NCAA
Division III Championships.
In order to be eligible for the award teams must qualify for the NCAA

lowest total score for all three championships combined determining the award
recipient.
The Al Carius Program of the Year Award is named after USTFCCCA Hall of Famer
