Meet Preview: BGSU Set For NCAA Great Lakes Regional Action In Akron
November 14, 2024 | Men's Cross Country, Women's Cross Country
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -- The Bowling Green cross country programs will travel east to the Silver Creek Cross Country Park in Norton, Ohio outside of Akron to compete in the NCAA Great Lakes Regional on Friday, November 15. The women's 6K race will begin at 11 a.m., while the men's 10K competition is set to start at noon.Â
Each team in all nine regions across the country automatically qualify for NCAA Regionals. The Great Lakes Region is comprised of 34 women's and 31 men's teams. For men's and women's, the top two teams in each regional automatically qualify for the NCAA Championships, which equates to 18 automatic qualifiers. The NCAA Cross Country Subcommittee will then choose 13 at-large teams to fill out the 31 team field.
Individually, the first four finishers who do not belong to an automatic qualifier or an at-large team automatically advance to the championships. All four finishers have to finish in the top 25 within their region. Altogether, 36 individuals automatically qualify and two are chosen at-large, making 38 the grand total. The two at-large selections are the highest placing individuals at a regional that were not automatic qualifiers.

Bowling Green is fresh off a fourth-place finish at the MAC Championship guided by stellar performances from Kylee Cubbison and Lexi Panning. Cubbison earned second-team All-MAC honors after finishing the race in 11th. Panning became the third BG runner ever to earn MAC Freshman of the Year, as she placed 17th. The Falcons also got solid contributions from Regina Rose (20th), Reese Reaman (27th) and Rachael Withrow (31st). The men's squad is led by Anthony Sweet and Micah Bentley, who each placed in the top 60 at the MAC Championship.
