FORT COLLINS – After a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Mountain Regional, the Colorado State women's cross country program received an at-large bid for the NCAA Championship next week in Charlottesville, Va.

"I am so proud of our women," said coach Kelly Hart. "They competed well all season, which put them in a great position heading into regionals to earn a bid. The last mile of the regional meet is where they really fought and earned the trip to nationals— they closed hard, moving up a total of 39 spots, and into sixth place. This is a special group of women, and we are thrilled to get to finish our season in Charlottesville!

The Rams will make their 13th trip to the Championship and fourth consecutive -- and do so as the lone representative of the Mountain West in the field. Sarah Carter led CSU last season, finishing 43rd with a time of 20:15.0 – just missing All-American honors by a mere second. The team finished 25th to be in the Top 25 for the third-consecutive season.

CSU is one of 31 teams selected to participate in the championship. Carter was an automatic qualifier as she finished eighth at the Mountain Regional on Friday.

The NCAA Championship will take place in Charlottesville, Va., hosted by Virginia on Nov. 18 at Panorama Farms Cross Country Course. The women's race will begin at 8:20 a.m. MT.

NCAA cross country fans not in attendance can catch all the action live on ESPNU and the ESPN App beginning at 7:30 a.m. MT on Saturday, Nov. 18.
