Washington State previously hosted four years earlier in 1973, also at Hangman Valley, south of the city. The distance for this race was 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) and the approximate average elevation was 1,900 feet (580 m) above sea level.

All Division I cross country teams were eligible to qualify for the meet through their placement at various regional qualifying meets. In total, 29 teams and 255 individual runners contested this championship.[2]

The team national championship was won by the Oregon Ducks, their fourth title.[3][4][5] The individual championship was retained by Henry Rono, from Washington State, with a time of 28:33.50.[1][6] This was Rono's second individual title; he would go on to win again in 1979.
