How does NIRCA individual qualifying work? I looked online but didn't see anything, so I'm posting to LRC to see if anybody has qualified, primarily as an individual but maybe as a team as well.

I ran in NIRCA for 4 years and have never heard of individual qualifying. Where do you go to school? If there is no club there then your best bet for competing at NIRCA sanctioned meets would be to shoot an email to Stephanie Bartley and just ask. And with NIRCA, there isn't really "Qualifying," more just prereqs to race like being a college student and filling out paperwork and so on. For XC, to race nationals you typically also have to race at a NIRCA regional meet. You don't have to finish in any place, just cross the finish line.
Thanks, that's helpful. There is a club but I didn't know how we'd qualify. And just crossing the finish line definitely is easier than finishing top 5 or whatever number
