The women will look to capture their first title since 2024, while the men aim to claim their first championship since 2019. Notable contenders for the Wolverines include Caren Kipsirat and Reagan Doman on the women's side, along with Sila Kiplagat for the men, who placed second at last year's WAC Championships.

Last week, the men ranked tenth in the Mountain Region Poll, while the women ranked seventh. Utah Valley will face tough competition from California Baptist and Cal Poly.
