Chloe Thomas took home the individual Northeast crown, qualifying for the NCAA Championships with teammate Jenna Zydanowicz.
Qualifying Procedures
The regional championships help teams advance to the NCAA Division I cross country championships each year. The top two teams in each region secure automatic NCAA Championship bids. The first four regional finishers who are not from an automatic-qualifying or at-large team also secure an automatic bid to the championships.
If a team doesn't secure an automatic bid, it will have to rely on the NCAA DI Cross Country Subcommittee to select it as one of the 13 at-large teams.
The Huskies will toe the line at 11:00 am. Follow UConn Track and Field on Instagram, X, and Facebook @uconntfxc.
