The combined scoring is the total of the best five finishers for a team between both races; an athlete may only score in one championship race. The USA Winter Cross Country Championships were renamed the USA Cross Country Championships in 2003. The short course races were eliminated following the 2006 championships to follow the format of the IAAF World Cross Country Championships. 1999 1. adidas 24 5. Farm Team 113 9. Club Northwest 219 2.
