ALBUQUERQUE — The University of Colorado cross country program picked up a pair of top-five finishes and six All-Regional selections here Friday morning at the 2022 NCAA Cross Country Mountain Regional Championships.
The men came into the race ranked ninth in the NCAA and fourth in the region, bettering that position by one with a third-place finish and upset of No.5-ranked Air Force. The men finished with 97 points, trailing only No.3 NAU with 43 points and No.2 BYU with 54 points.
"Well, I wouldn't call it an upset because everybody's running in a big pack looking around, trying to calculate how easily they can advance," said head coach Mark Wetmore.
