SEATTLE – The Husky men's and women's cross country teams will line up on Friday morning in Sacramento with nationals in Missouri just six thousand—or ten thousand—meters away. NCAA West Regionals are back at Haggin Oaks Golf Course, where the Dawgs will try to punch their tickets to the NCAA Championships.

The 18th-ranked Husky women's team will run first on Friday morning at 9 a.m., racing 6,000-meters. The men's 10,000-meter race will follow at 10 a.m. Regionals is the first men's race of the year that extends the competition from 8k to 10k.

This is the sixth time that Sacramento and Haggin Oaks have served as the host for West Regionals. The way for teams to move on from Regionals and make it to Nationals remains the same as in the past: a top-two team finish automatically advances, and anything after the top-two puts teams in the at-large selection procedure. The NCAA Championship fields will be officially announced on Saturday, and the national meet takes place on Nov. 22 in Columbia, Missouri.

The Huskies are coming off a pair of top-five team finishes at the Big Ten Championships two weeks ago. The men finished fifth, led by the individual fifth-place finish by Jamar Distel. The women were fourth overall with a trio of top-20 finishes from Chloe Foerster (11th), Maeve Stiles (15th) and Abby DeVeau (19th).

Teams are limited to seven entries at Regionals. The women will go with a squad of Mia Cochran, DeVeau, Foerster, Stiles, Jenica Swartz, Sam Tran, and Josephine Welin. The men's team will feature Isaac Briggs, Cruize Corvin, Thom Diamond, Jamar Distel, Parker Mong, Nathan Neil, Reuben Reina, and Josiah Tostenson, with one of those eight serving as the alternate on race day.

One year ago, the Husky men's team captured the West Regional title for just the second time, and the first since 2015. Only Distel (22nd in 2024) and Neil (47th in 2024) return from the seven men who got the victory. The women's squad was third a year ago, but as with the men, only two women are back this season: Stiles (14th in 2024) and Foerster (19th in 2024).

Several ranked women's teams will be vying for those top-two auto spots including No. 4 Oregon, No. 14 Stanford, the Huskies at No. 18, Washington State at No. 24, and Gonzaga at No. 28.

No. 7 Oregon leads the West men's rankings and then Washington State is No. 11 followed by Cal Baptist at No. 17, and Boise State at No. 29.

All-West Region honors go to runners finishing in the top-25.
