PORTLAND, Ore – Portland Pilots Men's Cross Country has qualified for the National Meet. The Pilots received an at-large selection, placing fourth at the 2026 West Regional meet. This marks the 20th time in 24 years that the Pilots will have competed at the National Championships.
The selection comes after the Pilots took fourth at the NCAA West Regional, with Nolan Turgeon and Weston Day earning All-West Region honors. Portland's fourth-place finish was their best since 2023, the last time the Pilots qualified as a team. The Pilots took 23rd in that contest.
The NCAA Cross Country Championships will take place on Nov. 21 at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course in Terre Haute, Ind.
