The Syracuse men's and women's cross country teams will begin the championship portion of its season on Friday at the ACC Championship.

One for the Thumb
- The Syracuse men's cross country team enters the meet looking for its fifth-straight conference title (fourth-straight ACC) heading into the weekend.
- The highest ranked team entering the meet, the men winning would mark the seventh conference title in the last-eight seasons for head coach Chris Fox's crew.
- In three seasons in the ACC, the women have finished as high as third in 2013. The team is coming off a fourth-place finish last season.

We're Going Streaking
- The Syracuse men have an opportunity to tie the third-longest streak for consecutive ACC men's cross country titles this weekend.
- Only Maryland 6 (1964-69) and NC State 5 (1995-99) would have longer streaks than the Orange's four. The mark would tie North Carolina (1960-63), Clemson (1980-83) and NC State's (2001-04) marks.
- There have been three streaks of four-or-more on the women's side, including two streaks of seven Florida State (2007-13) and NC State (1987-93). NC State also had a streak of four from 1995-99.
