Originally had the 1st part of this post in another thread, but decided to set up a separate thread to account for it, as well as any other cross country news (polls, etc.) which will be appearing over the next few weeks. I may also use it for news of the 1st race or two, with the season set to start at CSU on September 1st.
Just a short video and article after the Buff's 1st formal cross country practice -

(Great to see Kaitlyn Benner, 2-time Cross Country All-American and I assume the women's senior leader, on the track and being interviewed after missing last outdoor track season.)

Also, I have NO idea what rationale(s) / criteria they used, but Flotrack just published a list of its Top 25 redshirt freshmen, and the Buffs are well-represented. (The list is at http://www.flotrack.org/ranking/2999-2017-floxc-redshirt-freshmen-rankings#.WZZYQCh97IU .) The list, which includes top men and women in ONE list, includes the following Buffs-
Madie Boreman (last year's runner-up in the women's NCAA Outdoor Steeplechase on the track), is ranked #2 overall. Then, there are 3 male Buffs (all part of what I believe was Flotrack's (or someone elses?) #3 ranked recruiting class from 2016) in the Top 11- Eduardo (Lalo) Herrera at #5, Connor Dunne at #10 and Phillip Rocha at #11.
