Men's Cross Country: IU East Headed to NAIA National Championships
RICHMOND, Ind. - November 11th marked another historic moment for the Indiana University East cross country program.
The IU East men's team earned an at-large bid for time ever to the NAIA National Championships, which will be in Columbia, Missouri on Friday, Nov. 22.
With the IU East women's team picking the River States Conference automatic bid to the event with a second straight league title last weekend it means that both teams will be competing during the same meet for the first time.
Back in 2022, the men's team qualified for nationals as the RSC champions so this it is the second time for both squads to make the field.
The University of Rio Grande is also among the 14 schools to receive at-large bids for nationals, which puts three conference squads in the race on the Gans Creek Cross Country Course.
