SALISBURY, Md. – After finishing in the top 15 at Saturday's regional race, Salisbury University women's cross country athlete Rachel Roberts has qualified for the 2024 NCAA Division III National Championship race, which will be held on Saturday, Nov. 23, in Terre Haute, IN.

Roberts, a junior from Marriottsville, Md., finished 13th at the Mid-Atlantic Regional race in Lock Haven, Pa., on Saturday, earning All-Region honors with a time of 21:41.0. That time was good enough for a personal record for Roberts.
