The Bradley cross country teams look to extend their 2016 seasons with a strong showing at the 2016 NCAA Midwest Regional on Friday. The women's 6K race is set to begin at 11 a.m., while the men's 10K race is scheduled for noon.
The top two teams at each race will qualify for the NCAA Championship the following weekend. After the 18 automatic bids are handed out at the nine regional championships, another 13 teams will qualify through an at-large selection with Friday's results being a large determinant. In addition, the top four individual finishers at each regional that don't qualify through their team, will also earn an automatic placement at the national championship.
