GRR: CRC 7s
Several teams are starting to put their hands up in collegiate 7s this spring.
2024 Winter-Spring College 7s Tournament List
Babson College won the Frostbite 7s NCR qualifier over the weekend, beating some D1 teams in the process.
The tournament featured an NCR CRC 7s automatic qualifier that ran over two days, plus a men's bracket on Day One and a women's bracket on Day Two.
Iowa Central CC became the first team to qualify for NCR's CRC with a victory at the Sunshine 7s in Gainesville, Fla.
The Tritons overcame an early loss to Notre Dame to beat those self-same Fighting Irish in the final.
National Collegiate has mapped out how teams can qualify for its spring-culminating tournament, the CRC, which will be held once again in late April.
It's fairly unprecedented for a US collegiate organization to have such a qualification process mapped out this early—unprecendented and, for many, refreshing.
Babson's run to the CRC small college championship was fairly astonishing.
