The women's 6K race will commence at 11:00 AM, followed by the men's 8K race at 12:30, both taking place on the campus of the University of Maine Presque-Isle. The Broncos are led by last years NAC Coach of the Year, Zach Brown in his third year in charge. 

Throughout the season, the Broncos competed in five invitational races in preparation for the conference championships. On the men's side, senior John Amenta returns as the 2022 North Atlantic Runner of the Year after winning last year's competition. Amenta has participated in just one race this season, winning the Bronco Classic.

Sophomores Nathan Goodwin and Derek Leiter have consistently performed well throughout the season, consistently leading the Broncos. In their last outing at the Golden Bear Invite, they both finished in the top 10, contributing to the men's team securing fourth place out of 11 programs.

On the women's team, senior Marissa Lombardi has been the most consistent runner for Delhi, with her best performance occurring in the Bronco Classic 5k, where she finished second overall. The trio of freshmen, Mary Bryant, Evie Eastman, and Eden Carr, have made solid contributions to the team throughout the year and are eager to make an impact in their first-ever conference championship meet.
