How Do Teams, Runners Qualify For NCAA D1 Cross Country National Championship?
For men's and women's, the top two teams in each regional — there are nine in total — automatically qualify for the championships, which equates to 18 automatic qualifiers.
The NCAA DI Cross Country Subcommittee will then choose 13 at-large teams to fill out the 31 team field.
Individually, the first four finishers who do not belong to an automatic qualifier or an at-large team automatically advance to the championships. All four finishers have to finish in the top 25 within their region. Altogether, 36 individuals automatically qualify and two are chosen at-large, making 38 the grand total. The two at-large selections are the highest placing individuals at a regional that were not automatic qualifiers.
