Husky women earn NCAA at-large bid to nationals...

As expected, the University of Washington women's cross country team earned an at-large bid to compete in the NCAA cross country championships on Monday November 19th in Terre Haute, Indiana.

The Huskies, who were fourth in the NCAA west regionals on Saturday, are joined out of the west region by third place finisher Arizona State, along with fifth place finisher UC Santa Barbara.

Washington State's squad, which finished sixth, was not selected by the NCAA for an at-large berth.

Advancing to the NCAA championships as an automatic individual qualifier was Eastern Washington's Mattie Bridgemon (left, /photo by Paul Merca), a junior from Laramie, Wyoming, who finished 20th at the regional championships in 21:02.
