Held on November 24, 2003, the combined meet was hosted by the University of Northern Iowa in Waterloo, Iowa, near UNI's campus in Cedar Falls. The distance for the men's race was 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) while the distance for the women's race was 6 kilometers (3.73 miles).

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.[3][4]

gollark: I don't have anywhere near enough backing up of stuff yet, unfortunately, really ought to work on that.
gollark: I probably get away with doing a lot of stuff weirdly because I have a lot of free time and very little actual demand on my server stuff, since the only user is me. Though I do have a lot of important data and random services.
gollark: I just use entirely open-source software on my servers (except gameservers and probably some drivers), and don't have to deal with that sort of problem.
gollark: My stuff displays it just as % utilization with separate frequency graphs per core.
gollark: Measuring it in terms of frequency makes no sense, though. Modern CPUs change their frequency all the time in response to demand, for one thing.
