With the NCAA establishing a College Division championship the following year in 1958, this was the final NCAA cross country championship for which all NCAA members were eligible. In total, 17 teams and 124 individual runners contested this championship.[1]

The team national championship was won by the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, their first. The individual championship was won by Max Truex, from USC, with a record time of 19:12.30. Truex's event distance record would remain in place until the distance for the championship race was changed to 6 miles in 1965.[2]
