Official Qualifiers for 2014 NCAA Division II Cross Country Championships Announced

INDIANAPOLIS – Team and individual qualifiers for the men’s and women’s 2014 NCAA Division II Cross Country Championships – set for December 6 in Louisville, Kentucky – were officially announced by the NCAA Monday afternoon.

OFFICIAL NCAA RELEASES: Men | Women

The team list includes the 32 team qualifiers for each gender that finished within their region’s allotted NCAA Championships berths (ranging from three to as many as six per region) at Saturday’s Regional Championships.

For both genders, the top three individuals in each region who were not members of a qualifying team earned berths into the NCAA Championships. Any individual who placed among the top five finishers at his or her region was also accepted into the NCAA Championships.

The championships will be held December 6 in Louisville, Kentucky, at E.P. “Tom” Sawyer State Park as part of the 2014 NCAA Division II National Championships Festival. The Louisville Sports Commission and Bellarmine University will serve as co-hosts of the championships.  The men’s 10k race will begin at 11 a.m. Eastern time followed by the women’s 6k race at 12:15 p.m. Eastern time.  A live webcast will be available on NCAA.com.
