ROCHESTER, N.Y. - RIT senior Hassan Eissa received an at-large invite to the NCAA Division III Men's Cross Country Championships, announced Sunday. 

Eissa earned the invite based on his ninth-place finish out of 172 runners at Saturday's NCAA Division III Niagara Region Championships.

The top-seven finishers not on a team qualifier were invited to run for a national championship next Saturday (Nov. 19) at Forest Akers East Golf Course in Lansing, Michigan. 

Saturday's men's race is scheduled for a 12:00 p.m. start. Check back later this week for links to follow Eissa live during the race.
