Ole Miss’ distance boys are headed back to the NCAA cross country championship meet. The runnin’ Rebs legged out a dominant 47-point win over Florida Sate in the NCAA south regional XC meet on FSU’s home turf in Tallahassee last weekend, and in so doing locked the skinny men into their fifth-straight appearance at the US’s premier collegiate distance running event.

Like college basketball’s auto-bid system based on conference tournament wins, a win in XC at the regional level grants an automatic bid to the top two teams in each region.
