- The Broncos raced only twice last season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Santa Clara's teams competed in the WCC Championships on Feb. 24. Jack Davidson qualified for the NCAA Cross Country Championships as an individual, becoming the first men's in program history to reach the biggest collegiate stage.
- Davidson, in his final season with the team, clocked an 8k program record 23:37.7 at WCCs to take eighth place and become the first Bronco men's All-WCC runner since 2009. He placed 65th at NCAAs with a 10k 31:09.0.
- The men's team returns four of its five scorers from the 2020 WCC meet: Zach Litoff, Drew Burns, Ian Twyman and Nicholas Russell. Returners Kyle Johnson and Harvey Chilcott also raced at the conference event. The team has placed fourth at WCCs in each of the last two years.
- The women's team welcomes back its top two scorers and four of five scorers overall from the 2020 WCC meet: Kinsey Hall, Hayley Harrison, Irene Nagasaka and Hope Olbricht. Returners Hannah Aguirre, Luciana Lenth, Sasha Codiga and Maiya Fujiwara also raced at conference.

QUOTABLE
"This meet fits well with our schedule specifically to give some of our runners some more race experience. It's a quick turnaround to race six days after our opener, and we don't typically do that, but for this group racing we are just trying to give them more race repetitions and get more acquainted with college cross country. This group racing is primarily composed of college athletes or athletes who weren't competing last year because of opt outs or injury." -Associate head coach Pete Cushman
