The USTFCCCA Program of the Year Award is awarded annually to the most outstanding cross country/track & field programs in each of the NCAA's three divisions, the NAIA and the NJCAA for each gender in those levels. The award honors the institution that has achieved the most success in each academic year (spanning the cross country, indoor track & field, and outdoor track & field seasons) based on the institution's finish at their respective national championships.
 
Based on the team's finish at each championship (1st = 1 point, 2nd = 2 points, etc.) with the lowest total score for all three championships combined determining the award recipient. Ties among schools split points for positions taken.
 
Northwest's men's squad currently ranks sixth among Division II programs with 19 points. The Bearcats earned 11 points from an 11th-place finish at the 2025 NCAA Cross Country Championships and added eight points following an eighth-place finish at the 2026 NCAA Indoor Championships.
