No. 22 Utah State women’s cross country earns second-ever nationals bid – Cache Valley Daily
LOGAN, Utah – For just the second time in program history, and first since 2017, Utah State’s women’s cross country team was selected to participate in the NCAA Division I National Championships. Utah State earned an at-large berth, announced during the NCAA DI selection show on Saturday afternoon. 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, including the Aggies. “I am super proud of our women,” said Utah State head coach Artie Gulden. “They came really close to qualifying for NCAAs last year and not making it was a big disappointment. But, they really committed themselves, had a great summer of training and great season. I am particularly happy for our older girls who have battled for three and four years to get to this point. It is really satisfying, and I hope they are all enjoying today.” The 22nd-ranked Aggies will join two other programs from the Mountain West (No. 2 New Mexico and No. 19 Colorado State) at the national championships on Saturday, Nov. 20, at Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee, Florida. The women’s 6K race will begin at 8:20 a.m. (MT),
