In the ranking finals in Evry, the NCAA team managed to secure its spot in the Elite during an extremely close match until the end between 8 teams that absolutely had to avoid one of the last three places, which would mean relegation to N1A.*
Behind the untouchable Sotteville, Montpellier, Nantes, Arras, Athlรฉ 91, Haute Bretagne Athlรฉ, Dijon, and Nice engaged in a fierce battle all day across the 39 events of the program.
In the end, the 65 athletes from NCAA scored a total of 635 points, making it the second highest total behind Sotteville!! NCAA thus surpassed clubs like Nantes (627 points) or Montpellier (624.5 points), which seemed to be ahead after the first round.
Behind them, Athlรฉ 91 narrowly maintained their division spot (610 points), relegating Haute Bretagne (606.5 points), Arras (606.5 points), and Dijon (603.5 points) to a lower division.
