Eagles Prepare for NCAA Northeast Regional
November 10, 2021 | Men's Cross Country
Six runners will compete at noon on Nov. 12
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - The Boston College men's cross country is set to take to their home course at Franklin Park on Friday, Nov. 12 for the NCAA Northeast Regional.
The NCAA Northeast Regional meet features some of the top teams throughout New England and New York, vying for a trip to the national championship. The top two team finishers in each of nine regions nationally earn an automatic spot in the field of the 2021 NCAA Championship, held on Nov. 20 in Tallahassee, Fla. Another 13 teams are chosen at-large based on their performances throughout the season.
From the regional, the first four individual finishers who do not belong to an automatic qualifier or an at-large team automatically advance to the championships. All four finishers have to finish in the top 25 within their region. Altogether, 36 individuals automatically qualify and two are chosen at-large, making 38 the grand total. The two at-large selections are the highest placing individuals at a regional that were not automatic qualifiers
David Scherrer led the Eagles at the ACC Championship on Oct. 29, posting a time of 25:38.9, good for 96th place. Â
Six runners will be representing the Eagles this weekend: Scherrer, Jack Carter, Andrew Healey, Steven Jackson, Jack Seiberlich, and John Wacker.
