HANOVER, N.H. – For the 10th time in program history, the Dartmouth women will head to the NCAA Cross Country Championship Meet as a team on Saturday afternoon.

Making their record-setting appearance, and the first since 2001, the Big Green will head to Terre Haute and the 2013 NCAA Championship hosted by Indiana State alongside Princeton and Cornell. The Tigers, like the Green and White, will also be making their 10th all-time appearance at nationals, giving the two programs the Ivy League record for appearances.

However, Dartmouth is the only one of the three Ancient Eight squads to automatically qualify for the meet, claiming second at the NCAA Northeast Regional last Friday at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx.  Princeton and Cornell were two of the 13 teams to earn at-large berths, giving the Ivy League three programs at NCAAs for the first time since that 2001 race that featured the Big Green, the Big Red, Yale, Columbia and Brown.
