Cross Country: 'Eye-opening' season begins Friday at Notre Dame

The New Mexico cross country team is ready to officially start its 2016-2017 season with high expectations at the Joe Piane Notre Dame Invitational on Friday in Notre Dame, Indiana.

It was at the Notre Dame Invite last year that the New Mexico women’s cross country team finished in first place, and stormed to its dominant performances in the program’s first-ever national title in November.

The latest National Coaches’ Poll voted the women’s team No. 2 in the country, behind Providence, who the Lobos face this weekend. UNM held the No. 1 position for the past ten weeks.
