The 20th-ranked Washington men’s cross country team upset two top-10 teams and just missed out on a team title by two points Friday at the NCAA Regional Championships at Jefferson Park Golf Course.
The Huskies’ second-place finish means an automatic berth to the NCAA Championships.
Washington’s 16th-ranked women’s team got another tremendous run from Amy-Eloise Neale, finishing third overall, but the Huskies placed sixth and will have to wait to receive an at-large bid to NCAAs. Unofficial projections have UW in the field.
Should the women make the cut, it would be the third time in four years that both Husky distance squads will be on the starting line at the NCAA Championships, Nov.
