A LOOK BACK AT THE 2022 NCAA SOUTHEAST REGIONAL
- Duke sophomore Amina Maatoug continued her stellar season, finishing sixth at the NCAA Southeast Regional Cross Country Championships and punched her ticket to the 2022 NCAA Championships. Senior Zach Kinne also turned in an outstanding race to lead the Duke men with a ninth-place showing.
- Kinne, Maatoug and senior Owen MacKenzie, who took 19th in the men's 10K, earned All-Southeast Region honors with their top-25 finishes. Kinne put himself in good contention for an at-large bid, finishing sixth among runners not on the top-two finishing teams.
- The Blue Devil women finished fifth overall with 188 points. NC State captured the regional title with 25 points, while North Carolina nabbed the other automatic team bid in second. Duke's men's squad finished fifth as well, edging Eastern Kentucky by eight points with 135.
- Maatoug became the first Blue Devil woman to qualify individually for the NCAA Championships since Juliet Bottorff did so in 2013, while Kinne was the first on the men's side to qualify individually since Shawn Thompson in 2015.
- The fifth-place finish for the men was the highest finish since 2015. For the women, it was the best team finish since 2019.
