TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — The No. 10-ranked Colorado Buffaloes came into Saturday’s NCAA cross country championships hoping to finish better than their rank, but a late-season injury to a key senior runner made the task much harder.
“It definitely wasn’t a perfect day,” senior Sage Hurta said. “It wasn’t what our aspirations were, but it felt hard out there. Everyone went out there and fought, and we’ve had our ups and downs, but I’m proud of how we’ve come together as a team as opposed to seven individuals out there and running for each other.”
Senior Tabor Scholl suffered a lower leg injury just eight days ago at the regional championships in Salt Lake City.
