INDIANAPOLIS -- The NCAA Division II Men's and Women's Track and Field
Committee announced today the participants in the 2003 NCAA Division II
Men's and Women's Cross Country Championships.
In order to be eligible to participate in the championships, teams and
individuals must qualify in their respective NCAA regions.
A total of 376 participants (185 men and 191 women) will compete in the
championships. All regions automatically qualify two teams of seven student-athletes
each. Additional berths were awarded to the regions with the first eight
finishers in the 2002 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 championship.
St. Augustine's College will host the 2003 NCAA Division II Men's and
Women's Cross Country Championships, November 22, at the SAS Soccer Park,
