Hanover College will host the NCAA championships, Saturday, Nov. 23, at its nationally renowned campus course. The women’s race will begin at 11 a.m. (ET), followed by the men’s finale at 12:30 p.m.

Each championship race will include 32 teams, with seven runners per squad, and 56 individuals from additional schools.

The 32 teams in each race will include 16 teams, two from each of eight regions, which automatically qualify in regional events. Also, the NCAA national committee selects16 at-large teams from among the top five teams in each regional meet.

The top seven individual competitors in each regional race, not associated with a qualifying team, also earn a place in the championship field.
