The 1946 NCAA Men's Cross Country Championships were the eighth annual cross country meet to determine the team and individual national champions of men's collegiate cross country running in the United States.
Since the current multi-division format for NCAA championship did not begin until 1973, all NCAA members were eligible. In total, 28 teams contested this championship.[1]
The meet was hosted by Michigan State University at the Forest Akers East Golf Course in East Lansing, Michigan for the eighth consecutive time. Additionally, the distance for the race was 4 miles (6.4 kilometers).
The team national championship was retained again by the Drake Bulldogs, their third overall. The individual championship was won by Quentin Brelsford, from Ohio Wesleyan, with a time of 20:22.9.[2]
