INDIANAPOLIS – Following a top-15 finish at the NCAA Division III Midwest Regional Championships this past Saturday, Illinois Wesleyan University women's cross country junior Adriana Crabtree (Normal, Ill.-University High) has earned an individual bid to the 2024 National Championships in Terre Haute, Ind., next Saturday, Nov. 23. The NCAA announced its full list of qualifiers Sunday, Nov. 17.

Crabtree turned in an exceptional race, finishing 13th overall in the loaded Midwest Regional on Saturday in a time of 22:03.6 to earn the second all-region honor of her cross country career. The junior's finish marks the highest by a Titan at the Midwest Regional since Erin McCarey turned in a 12th-place effort in 2015.

Joining her on the national stage from across the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin will be Julia Benes from North Central and Emma Odle from Augustana.

The CCIW will have representation from four schools on the men's side as Augustana, Carthage and North Central each earned team at-large bids and Bradyn Olmstead from Millikin picked up an individual qualifying spot.

The 2024 Division III Cross Country Championships will be hosted by Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology at the LaVern Gibson Championships Cross Country Course at the Wabash Valley Family Sports Center in Terre Haute, Ind. The women's race is set for 11 a.m. ET, followed by the men's race at noon ET.
