As is commonplace, both the men and women cross country teams have completed the regular season, Pac 12 Championships and NCAA regionals as qualifiers for this Saturday's Championships, once again proving to be, at worse***, two of the top 31 teams (the # of teams selected to compete at NCAA's) in their genders in the country. (Which realistically would be a great result in itself for probably any other CU team other than skiing.)
(***With the women ranked 3rd and the men 5th in the latest rankings, I assume both teams are looking for top finishes FAR better than near 31th.)
Now, it's the BIG races, as the teams will be heading off to Tallahassee Florida in a few days to compete at the NCAA Championships (at Apalachee Regional Park) this Saturday. The women's race is 1st off, scheduled to begin at 8:20 AM MT, with the men following with a scheduled 9:10 AM MT start. Coverage, promised to be ad free, is scheduled to be on ESPNU beginning at 8:00 AM MT.
Congrats and best wishes to the teams!
