SPARTANBURG, S.C. - The NC State men's and women's cross country teams head to Spartanburg, South Carolina, on Friday, Nov. 13, for the NCAA Southeast Regional, the final stop to punch their tickets to the NCAA Cross Country Championships in Terre Haute, Indiana.
The women will lead off the action in the 6k race at 10:00 a.m. ET, followed by the men's 8k race at 11:00 a.m. ET. Live results will be available via Flash Results. While the meet will not be live-streamed, fans can follow @Wolfpack_TF_XC on X, Instagram, and Facebook for live race updates.
NCAA Championship Qualification: Qualifiers for both the Division I men's and women's national championships will be finalized following regional action:
- Team Bids: The top two teams from each of the nine regions automatically qualify (18 total), with 14 additional teams selected at-large to round out the 32-team field.
- Individual Bids: 38 individual runners per gender qualify via automatic and at-large selection. The top four individual finishers in each region who are not part of a qualifying team earn automatic bids to nationals.
The Wolfpack women enter the regional meet seeking their 14th regional team crown and ninth consecutive title. Last time out, NC State captured its 31st conference title, and 10th in the past 11 years. At the ACC Championships. Veteran Hannah Gapes led the Pack by cruising to her first career ACC individual title, shattering the course record by 2:30 and winning by a dominant 30-second margin. Gapes placed second overall at last year's Southeast Regional to lead NC State to a first-place team finish.
The Wolfpack men look to build off their 10th-place finish at the ACC Championships, where Sophomore Philip Blum led the Wolfpack. Last season, Noah Valyo led the team with a 21st-place individual finish at regionals to qualify for NCAA Championships.
