CALVIN SPORTS REPORT FOR NOV. 10, 2007
CALVIN SET TO HOST GREAT LAKES CROSS COUNTRY REGIONALS
For the first time, the nationally-ranked Calvin men's and women's cross country teams will be hosting the NCAA Division III Great Lakes Regional. The competition will take place on Saturday with the women's 6K race set to start at 11:00 a.m. with the men's 8K race set to follow at noon.
Teams will be competing to advance to the NCAA III Championships set to be hosted by St. Olaf College (MN) November 17. The top two teams in the men's race and the two top teams in the women's race on Saturday will qualify automatically for the NCAA III Championships. The next three men's teams (places three-through-five) and next three women's teams will then be under consideration for at-large invitations to the national meet. In addition, the top seven individuals from non-advancing teams in both the men's and women's races will qualify for the national meet.
Saturday's women's Great Lakes Regional race will feature four nationally-ranked teams with Calvin ranked number-two, Case Western Reserve seventh, DePauw 13th and Baldwin-Wallace 30th.
