BOULDER, Colo. – The 52 teams competing at the 2015 USA Rugby College 7s National Championships have been determined. After a year-and-a-half hiatus in order to transition the premier college sevens event to the spring, the College 7s National Championships will be hosted by the University of Denver May 23-24. The event will include broadcast coverage on ESPN’s family of networks. “The skill and competiveness of the entire field, combined with the facilities of the University of Denver and the coverage provided by ESPN, are sure to make this the finest college rugby sevens event yet,” said USA Collegiate Director Rich Cortez. “We’re extremely excited about the field. The teams have earned their way to Denver. It’s going to make for must-see rugby and exemplifies the growth of rugby in the colleges and the desire for National Championship participation.” Half of the 24-team Men’s Division I field secured their place in the Championship event by winning an automatic qualifying tournament or series of tournaments.
