- Roger Williams was a powerhouse in the league with a dozen titles on its resume including 11 straight from 2000 through 2010.
- All of the University of New England's seven banners came in a row from 2012-18.

- Salve Regina has one championship, in 2011.
ALL-CNE
- Student-athletes that finish in the top 15 will capture all-conference recognition. The distinctions will be broken down to first-team (1-5), second-team (6-10) and third-team (11-15).
- In 2021, three Suffolk women earned all-conference.
- A year later the Rams doubled that, as six of their top seven runners garnered all-league with a spot in the top 15.
- The last two seasons, five student-athletes grabbed all-conference.
- Overall, 11 students have combined for 19 all-conference distinction in the last four years.
- Amy Pattelena has three all-league accolades on her resume and could become the second-ever Ram to capture four behind Sydney Fogg, who accomplished the feat a year ago.
- Sofia Moukaddem owns a pair of all-conference awards, one at Suffolk last year and one when she raced for Endicott in 2023.
RAMS at CNEs

- Katelyn Brunt (23:45), Ellie Davis (22:58.6) and Amalia Dorion (22:13.06) all turned in the best individual finishes by a blue-and-gold runner at the meet as they finished third in 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively.
- Dorion's 6k time of 22:13.06 a year ago is a Suffolk CNE Championship record.

SUFFOLK'S SCOUT
- Sofia Moukaddem has the chance to make Suffolk women's cross country history Saturday as she races with CNE Individual Champion honors on her mind.

- Grace Miller has a shot to finish right on Moukaddem's heels. If Moukaddem and Miller take the first two spots on the podium, it would be the first Suffolk duo to do so since Manfra and Weisse did in 2019 at GNACs.
- Amy Pattelena looks to seal her spot in the Rams record book as well as the second-every Ram to capture four all-league honors. The senior aims to come through the chute in the top five.
