2008 NCAA Cross Country Selections
INDIANAPOLIS---The NCAA Division II Men's and Women's Track and
Field Committee has announced the participants for the 2008 NCAA
Division II Men's and Women's Cross Country Championships.
In order to be eligible to participate in the championships, teams
and individuals had to qualify in their respective NCAA region
competitions that were held this past weekend.
A total of 368 participants (184 men and 184 women) will compete in
the championships. All regions automatically qualified two
teams of seven student-athletes each. Additional berths were
awarded to the regions with the first eight team finishers at the
2007 NCAA Division II Men's and Women's Cross Country
Championships.
All regions automatically qualify the top two individuals from
non-qualifying teams. In addition, all individual competitors
who finish in the top five overall places in their respective
regional meet and are not a member of a qualifying team
automatically advance to the championships.
Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania will host the
championships, November 22, at Cooper's Lake Campground in Slippery
Rock, Pennsylvania. The men's race will begin at noon Eastern
time followed by the women's race at 1:15 p.m. Eastern time.
