“Indiana, prepare to be invaded!”
Tyler King is going to Terra Haute.
The former Coupeville High School state cross country champ and his teammates on the University of Washington mens’ team were picked Saturday as an at-large qualifier for the NCAA Division 1 Championships.
It’s the first time the Huskies, currently ranked 11th in the nation, have gone to nationals since 2009.
The race, hosted by Indiana State (Larry Bird’s alma mater) will be held at the Wabash Valley Family Sports Center Saturday. Nov. 22. Start time is 1 PM Eastern (10 AM Cow Town time).
A live webcast of the meet (starting at 12 Eastern/9 Pacific with the womens’ championship) will be broadcast on NCAA.com.
