BYU men's cross-country secured its spot in the NCAA Championships with a second-place finish, while the women made a strong case for an at-large bid by taking third at the NCAA Mountain Region Championships at the Steve and Dona Reeder Cross Country Course on Friday.
The men ran a 10K, and the women ran a 6K. This was the first time in NCAA Division I history that a Regional Championship featured the top-two nationally-ranked men’s and women’s programs.
“Our goal coming in was to qualify for the NCAA Championships, and I think we did just that,” head coach Ed Eyestone said.
