Below you will find the complete list of every team and individual that will compete at the 2014 NCAA XC Championships in Terre Haute, Ind., on November 22. We’ve calculated the teams according to the NCAA formula using Bo Waggoner‘s computer program. We got the individual qualifiers by removing the top individuals in each region that run for a qualifying team; the top four on a team that’s not going to NCAAs qualify as individuals (with two to four extra at-large spots for individuals to be announced by the NCAA tomorrow; we’ve listed the individuals who would be eligible for consideration under the NCAA rules — they have to place top 25 at Regionals).

The results are broken down region by region, with links to full results of each race. To see all regional results on one page, go here.

9 #370 Graf, Christoph JR South Alabama 30:40.90

Comments: Ole Miss clinches its first-ever NCAA bid on the men’s side with a commanding victory over host school FSU. The Seminoles return to the Big Dance after a one-year absence. They made it 10 straight years from 2003-12.

12 Durgin, Emily JR UConn

13 Moriello, Rosa SR Boston University

Comments: Defending NCAA champion Providence needed to finish in the top two in order to qualify as the Friars didn’t have enough at-large points to get in on their own. Mission accomplished, as Ray Treacy’s women auto-qualified even with their top runner, Sarah Collins, redshirting for the season.

Comments: We knew going in that Syracuse, Providence and Iona were a cut above everyone else in this region and that proved to be true as they combined for 11 of the first 12 finishers. Columbia, which tied for fifth at Heps, bested all five of the other Ivies in this race to take fourth. Providence beat Iona for second but they were the only one of the top three to run a full squad (Syracuse didn’t run Justyn Knight and Max Straneva; Iona didn’t run Chartt Miller).

5 #113 Jube, Carrie JR BYU

6 #282 Page, Holly SR Wyoming

8 #208 Townsend, Melanie SO Northern Arizona

Comments: BYU was one of the last teams predicted to get in under the USTFCCCA Regional Rankings, but in our preview, we noted that their spot was tenuous should upsets occur in other regions. Well, William & Mary and Providence both grabbed auto spots, and that pushed BYU down the list far enough to leave them at home for NCAAs.

Individual Qualifiers

6 #433 Bowen, Amos JR Wyoming

15 #344 Turner, Jake JR Montana State

19 #291 Coates, Riley SR Air Force

20 #409 Shellhorn, Eric SR Utah State

Comments: Our projections had seven teams getting in from the Mountain Region, and that is indeed the number it will send to Terre Haute. The only difference: instead of Air Force crashing the party and getting pushed in, it was UTEP who benefited from a push, with New Mexico doing the honors. Three fewer places and UTEP would be sitting at home next weekend. They can thank #2 man Cosmas Boit (beat the next runner by 0.41 seconds) and #5 man Evans Kiprono (the next two runners were just 0.57 and 0.62 seconds behind him).

8 8 483 Raquel Hefflin UC RIVERSIDE 20:27.1 5:30

Comments: Boise State won the tiebreaker over Stanford for the auto spot based on head-to-head matchups (their #1, #2 and #5 runners all beat Stanford’s #1, #2, #5, giving them a 3-2 edge). Stanford still qualified easily, along with Washington and UCLA, while Cal will be left wondering what might have been. The Golden Bears could have been pushed in if they beat UCLA but came up one point short; instead, Bethan Knights (fourth overall) will run in Terre Haute alone.

Comments: The top five teams all had plenty of points and were expected to qualify; the question was, would anyone beat one of them to get pushed in? The answer was no, as Arizona St. fell 16 points short of Washington and finished sixth. In the individual race, Maksim Korolev defeated Edward Cheserek for the win.

16 16 32 Abbey Kelto SR Central Michigan 6:55 13:50 20:30 5:30

Comments: Michigan State dominated. Stop us if you’ve heard that one before. After scoring 26 at Big 10s, the Spartans scored 28 against a better field in Madison, with four in the top six and six in the top 15. MSU’s first national championship seems to be a formality at this point. It was a battle royale for spots six through 10, as they were separated by just 26 points. Only one of those schools — Notre Dame — will be going to nationals, though.

6 6 493 Michael Clevenger JR Notre Dame 6:18 12:32 18:49 24:44 30:22 4:54

Comments: Michigan State needed a big performance and, perhaps inspired by their women’s team, ran a great race to take the second auto spot behind Wisconsin, which qualified for its 43rd straight NCAA Championship. Michigan and Indiana both grabbed at-large spots, while E. Michigan, which led early in the race, faded over the second half to take fifth. Indiana St.’s John Mascari repeated as individual champ.

11 11 Jillian Hunsberger, Fr 20:49 5:35 Penn State

Comments: Princeton, Villanova and Penn State all needed help to get into the Big Dance and they didn’t receive it. Katrina Coogan of Georgetown was the individual champion as Princeton’s Megan Curham (Heps champ and second at Pre-Nats) was just fourth.

9 9 Stephen Schroeder, Jr 30:24 4:54 Navy

Comments: As was the case with the women, Penn State and Princeton had to upset one of the favorites in order to go, but neither could get close enough as Georgetown held on for second. With Princeton unable to secure a bid, this marks the first time since 2009 that the Ivy League will not send a men’s team to NCAAs (though Heps individual champ Thomas Awad did grab an individual spot).

Comments: Oklahoma had a shot to grab an at-large spot, but the Sooners blew up and finished sixth, crushing any dreams they had of dancing. OU was hurt by a DNF from Zac Randall and a sub-par race from usual #1 Abbabiya Simbassa (just 15th). OSU’s Kirubel Erassa was the individual champ.

Comments: We knew going in that this was likely to be a two-bid region and that’s how it played out. SMU would have had a shot at an at-large spot but for some upsets in other regions (notably William & Mary in the Southeast).

16 Ann Eason SR Eastern Kentucky 20:43.8 16

Comments: William & Mary, ranked #5 in the region coming in, came up huge to take the victory and an automatic berth at nationals (we didn’t have them going to NCAAs in our original predictions). Their victory was made more impressive by the fact that Emily Stites (46th at NCAAs last year, pbs of 15:43/32:41) was only their fifth woman today. UNC’s Annie Lehardy was the individual champ.

Comments: Furman delivered on its promise and followed up a perfect score at its conference meet with its first trip to nationals since 1970. Virginia, UNC and Eastern Kentucky will all be joining the Paladins in Terre Haute, while NC State and Virginia Tech missed out. Individually, you had to be in the top four overall to grab an auto spot, though its possible the Southeast could send another guy as an at-large individual.

A few quick takeaways (check back on Monday for a more comprehensive breakdown):

The following ranked men’s teams failed to qualify for NCAAs: #18 NC State, #24 Penn State, #26 Oklahoma and #29 Air Force.

The following unranked men’s teams made it instead: Colorado State (#32 by votes), Eastern Kentucky (#34 by votes), Ole Miss (#35 by votes), Texas (#36 by votes) and UTEP (no votes).

The following ranked women’s teams failed to qualify for NCAAs: #24 Arizona State, #28 Princeton and #30 Villanova.

The following unranked women’s teams made it instead: Boston College (#31 by votes), Providence (#32 by votes), Virginia Tech (#33 by votes) and William & Mary (#37 by votes)

The big surprises on the women’s side were Providence and William & Mary grabbing auto spots in the Northeast and Southeast, respectively. That meant that teams like BYU, SMU and Princeton all had multiple points but couldn’t get in. Arizona State also finished with 10 points but amazingly didn’t get in because it only finished eighth in the West. That meant that the Sun Devils were blocked by Cal AND Portland, and since you can’t push two teams in, ASU was forced to sit out. You have to run well in the regular season to accumulate points (ASU did), but you still have to execute at least a little and apart from Shelby Houlihan (who won the race), the Sun Devils didn’t do that on Friday.

(who won the race), the Sun Devils didn’t do that on Friday. The biggest men’s surprise was undoubtedly UTEP, which didn’t receive a single vote in the most recent coaches’ poll, getting in as an at-large team from the Mountain Region. New Mexico, who was ranked third in the region according to the USTFCCCA, finished just seventh on Friday. But they had enough points to push UTEP and get in anyway, giving the Mountain seven bids, the most of any region. NC State, Penn St., Iowa St. and Minnesota all had multiple points at the end but pushes in the Mountain (UTEP) and Southeast (UNC) prevented them from getting in.
