For meet credentials, the NCAA directs all reporters who will be covering the 2009 Men's and Women's Cross Country National Championship meet at Terre Haute to contact Mike Williams at Indiana State University, at mwilliams73@isugw.indstate.edu.

Terre Haute will be the host site for the national championships for the seventh time. Indiana St. hosted its first championship in 2002, and then from 2004 to the present.
