Since the current multi-division format for NCAA championship did not begin until 1973, all NCAA members were eligible. In total, 18 teams and 131 individual runners contested this championship.[1]

The meet was hosted by Michigan State College on November 22, 1948, at the Forest Akers East Golf Course in East Lansing, Michigan. The distance for the race was 4 miles (6.4 kilometers).

The team national championship was won by the host Michigan State Spartans, their second overall. The individual championship was won by Robert Black, from Rhode Island State, with a time of 19:52.84, a new distance record. Black's four mile time, which replaced Greg Rice's 1938 time of 20:12.9, would remain in place until 1953.[2]

gollark: no.
gollark: Hmm, maybe you could get persistence out of CraftOS-PC somehow.
gollark: Well, it would mostly be a somewhat useless shiny toy™, but you could do cool things like remote into it from two devices at once, hook it up to ingame peripherals via some other interface and control it from the browser, or maybe even connect up HTTP listeners.
gollark: I was looking into having browser-based frontends for remotely hosted "cloud" CC VMs.
gollark: I think PotatOS for x86™ would be more useful. You could always run that in one of the in browser x86 VMs.
