PORTLAND, Ore. -- The latest episode of GNAC Insider, a podcast featuring student-athletes, coaches and administrators in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, is now available at www.gnacsports.com. 

Highlights of this week’s episode: 

• Hear from the individual champions and the winning coach at last week’s Great Northwest Athletic Conference Cross Country Championships. Alaska Anchorage came away with dominating performances on both the individual and team sides in successfully defending its conference crowns. 

• The bi-annual Division II Conference Commissioners Association meeting took place in Indianapolis last week. Commissioners and championship coordinators from all 24 DII conferences took part in the two-day meeting, and GNAC Insider shares perspective from CAA president Steve Murray of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. 

• Could there be another upset of an NCAA Division I team by a GNAC men’s basketball program this fall? Western Washington, the defending DII champion, will have its shot on Saturday against perennial power Duke University.
