NCAA DIVISION III EAST REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP 

BOSTON – For the third time in the University's history and second straight season, Suffolk Athletics will take on a NCAA hosting role as the NCAA has tapped the Rams as host of the 2024 Division III East Regional Championships.  

The gig is the Rams third across any sport in the University's Athletic program history, which spans nearly 80 years, and second straight ss the Rams' cross country program put on the regional race a year ago.  

Suffolk will welcome institutions from the East, comprised of all of Maine, New Hampshire and Eastern Massachusetts to Hopkinton Fairgrounds in Hopkinton, New Hampshire the third Saturday of November. More information on the East Regional Championship can be found here. 

A year ago, both blue-and-gold program's finished with program-best team results. The men claimed eighth in the 34-team field, while the women slid into sixth. Individually two men, Tim Barry and Thomas Novy, and two women, Ellie Davis and Amy Pattelena raced to all-region accolades with spots in the top-35. Barry's 13th-place performance sent him to the 2023 NCAA Championships with an at-large bid.  

The winner of the race on Saturday, Nov. 16 in the Granite State will not only be crowned the regional champ, but earn a spot at the 2024 NCAA Division III Cross Country Championships, which is scheduled to be held at Rose Hulman in Terre Haute, Indiana.
