Nov. 15, 2004 The NCAA Cross Country Committee today announced both the Colorado State men's and women's cross country teams will be heading to Indiana State to compete in the 2004 NCAA Championship. The women's team earned an at-large berth after finishing third at the NCAA Mountain Regional on Saturday in Fort Collins, while the men's team earned the at-large spot after a fifth-place finish. This will be the fifth consecutive trip to the NCAA Championship for the men's team and the second straight and fifth in the last seven seasons for the women. Thirty-one teams were selected to participate in each championship. The top two, seven-person teams automatically qualified from each of the nine regions, for a total of 18 teams. Thirteen additional teams were selected at-large. Thirty-eight individuals, the first four from each region whose teams did not advance to the championships race, and two additional qualifiers, were selected to participate in each championship. All individual qualifiers must finish in the top 25 in their region.
