For the men, the Blazers will be up against nationally ranked Lee (No. 9) and Alabama Huntsville (No. 13), who have combined for 12 of the last 13 GSC Championships. Lee has won eight straight, as the Flames are looking to make it nine in a row. The Flames have been just as dominant for the women, as the 13th ranked team in the country has won seven straight GSC Championships.
 
For VSU men's squad, they have been anchored by true freshman Nick Waddell, who has been the top finisher for the red and black in the last two races. On the women's side, the senior duo of Caitlyn Koske and Katie LaCroix continue to take charge, as they look build off a strong showing at the UAH Invitational. Koske and LaCroix placed 102nd and 108th, respectively.
