Last year, the Nova Southeastern and the Tampa men won these relays, with Nova Southeastern setting an NCAA Division II record with a 7:08.50. Both teams went on to win the overall team titles at the end of the meet, with Nova Southeastern defending their 2022 title and the Tampa men winning the first title in program history.
