LAST YEAR AT THE REGIONAL: GW's men's team had a historic day at the 2017 regional, finishing a program-best 14th a year ago.

The women finished 16th at the competition with Suzanne Dannheim setting a then-PR in the 6k distance.
IN THE RANKINGS: The Colonial men enter this weekend ranked 15th in the Mid-Atlantic region poll and have been ranked in every poll so far this season. The men have been as high as No. 11, which is tied for the highest in program history. The women re-entered the regional rankings following the A-10 Championship, also coming in at 15th. They have been ranked as high as No. 14 earlier this year.
THE COMPETITION: The men's field features competitors from 27 different institutions in the region. Princeton has been ranked as the top team in the region all season, followed by Georgetown and Villanova in this week's poll. The women are one of 31 teams competing on Friday.
