The NCAA Division I South Regional will once again send Parker Valby to the Women’s 2023 Cross Country Championship on Nov. 18. 

The junior from Florida won the 6000m run with a time of 17 minutes and 59.6 seconds. Varby helped the Gators finish second in the regional meet, meaning they will automatically qualify as a team to the NCAA Championship.

This is the second year in a row Valby has won the regional. She went on to finish second to NCAA champion Katelyn Tuohy in 2022. 

Tennessee won the team race  and will also head to the Cross Country Championship. 

On the men's side, Tennessee also won the regional, followed by Florida State. Both teams will automatically qualify for the NCAA Championship. Hillary Cheruiyot won the men's 10000m race with a time of 28 minutes and 26.8 seconds. He was followed by teammate Victor Kiprop. They will qualify for the NCAA Championship. 

NCAA Cross Country Regionals 2023 Results

Here are the results from all the regions: 

How Do Teams, Runners Qualify For NCAA D1 Cross Country National Championship?

For men's and women's, the top two teams in each regional — there are nine in total — automatically qualify for the championships, which equates to 18 automatic qualifiers. 

The NCAA DI Cross Country Subcommittee will then choose 13 at-large teams to fill out the 31 team field.

Individually,  the first four 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.

Here are the full results from the 2023 NCAA South Regional.
