LEWISTON – The NCAA announced Sunday that Bates College senior Matt Dunlap of Farmington will compete in the NCAA Division III men’s cross country championships.

Dunlap, who finished 15th at the New England Regional Championships on Saturday, received the at-large bid after the top five teams and three at-large runners would receive berths at nationals.
