Cross country talent heads to Fayetteville

FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas' men's and women's cross country teams will run on their home turf for the first time this season Saturday at the Chile Pepper Festival.

Arkansas' women's team is ranked No. 2 nationally behind Colorado, while the men are ranked No. 25.

"We're always excited to run at home," Razorbacks women's Coach Lance Harter said. "The high schools are the center of attention, but we're glad we get to join in the festivities."

The 31st annual Chile Pepper Festival features a full schedule of races for college, high school and junior high teams, along with an open 10,000 on Saturday and a pair of mile races for youngsters tonight at the UA's Agri Park Course.
