A Look at the Teams 

Johns Hopkins has dominated the Championships as of late, taking the past nine titles from 2008-16. The Blue Jays enter as the top-ranked team in Division III. Dickinson comes in at No. 16 with Haverford following at 24^th. Prior to Johns Hopkins' run, Dickinson was the top team from 2000-07, while Haverford (3), McDaniel (1) and Gettysburg (1) have also captured team titles in the Conference's 23-year history.

The Diplomats have performed well in several events this fall and aim to improve on an eighth-place showing at the 2016 CC Championships. This year, F&M has taken the team title at both the Battle for the Buggy on Oct. 7 (1^st out of five teams) and the finished third at the Hood College Open on Oct. 14 (out of 11 teams).
