With less than three weeks to go before the NCAA Regional Meet in Iowa City, Iowa, on Nov. 11, the Missouri women’s cross-country team is gearing up for the most important five-week stretch of the cross-country year: championship season.

But this year is different than past ones.

Mizzou has its best chance to earn a bid to compete in the NCAA Championships Meet since Marc Burns took over the cross-country program in 2014. NCAAs will take place on Nov. 19 in Terre Haute, Indiana. The team has not qualified for a bid to the race since 2004.
