The Field Is Set For The 2007 NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships

INDIANAPOLIS - The NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Track and Field Committee announced on Sunday the team and individual qualifiers for the 2007 NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Cross Country Championships hosted by Indiana State University.  The event will take place at the LaVern Gibson Championship Course located at the Wabash Valley Family Sports Center in Terre Haute, Ind., on Monday, November 19.

 

The men's race will begin at noon Eastern time followed by the women's race at 12:55 p.m. Both championship races will be broadcast live on CSTV.

 

In order to be eligible to participate in the championships, teams and individuals had to qualify last weekend in their respective NCAA regional meets. The top two, seven-person teams automatically qualified from each of the nine regions, for a total of 18 teams. Thirteen additional teams were selected at-large by the committee on Sunday. A total of thirty-one teams were selected to participate in both the men's and women's Division I championships.

 

Thirty-eight individuals, the first four athletes from each region who are not a part of a qualifying team and two additional qualifiers, were selected to participate in each championship. All individual qualifiers must have finished in the top 25 in their region.
