FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arkansas men’s and women’s cross country teams are running at the South Central Regional in College Station, Texas, today to advance to the NCAA Championships.
The two top teams automatically qualify for the NCAA meet on Nov. 19 in Stillwater, Okla., and both Razorback squads are heavily favored to advance.
Arkansas’ women’s team is going for its 11th consecutive regional title and 26th overall.
“We’re fortunate that we have a pretty powerful team compared to our region,” Razorbacks women’s Coach Lance Harter said. “We’ll go in as a prohibitive favorite.
“That doesn’t mean we can just go into cruise control.
