Briefly

The UA women's cross country team failed to receive an at-large bid to Monday's NCAA Championships in Greenville, S.C. after finishing fourth at the Far West Regional over the weekend.

The top two teams from the regional (Stanford and Oregon) automatically qualified while the UA women were on the bubble for one of the four at-large bids.

UA defending champion Amy Skieresz and men's runner Abdi Abdirahman qualified to compete as individuals.

The UA hiking club, known as the Ramblers, is holding its weekly meeting today in Student Union room 280. Meetings are at 5 p.m. each Wednesday and are open to anyone who enjoys the great outdoors.

There is a men's and women's ultimate frisbee pick-up game Saturday on the Southeast end of the McKale lawn from 4 to 6 p.m.

Anyone interested should show up on Saturday. There will be another game next Wednesday.
