ABOUT THE MEET
• The Southeast Regional is made up of all Division I cross country programs from Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. 
 The top-two scoring teams from each of the nine regional meets will receive an automatic bid, with 13 at-large teams also earning selection following the completion of all regional races.
• In addition to the 31 teams in the championship field, the top four individuals from each regional who finish in the top-25 overall and are not associated with a placing team will also advance.

• The Phoenix will look to continue its momentum from capturing its historic fourth straight Colonial Athletic Association championship in its last meet on Oct. 28.
