Saturday's win marked a number of historic feats for the UBC Program. The UBC Thunderbirds became just the third program in NAIA history to start the season with a No. 1 ranking and go on to win the National Championship. UBC also becomes only the third school ever to have been ranked the No. 1 team for the entire season. In addition, UBC becomes only the fourth institution in NAIA history to win consecutive national championships. The only other schools to do so are Puget Sound (WA.), Cal State San Marcos (Calif.), and Simon Fraser University (B.C.).
 
With six All-Americans, the UBC Thunderbirds dominated its competition on Saturday nearly doubling the score of second-place College of Idaho. British Columbia was led by third-year standout Maria Bernard, who captured the bronze medal in the women's 6km race. Catherine Farish had an outstanding breakthrough race; placing 11th whileAmelie de Fenoyl was two seconds back in 12th.
