Friday was a memorable day for the University of Colorado Buffaloes cross country team at the 2021 Pac-12 Championships at the windy Chambers Creek Park in Washington. On the men’s side, senior Eduardo ‘Lalo’ Herrera took home the individual title and led the No. 9 Buffs to a second-place finish. Senior Rachel McArthur led the No. 6 CU women’s team to a second-place finish as well.
The Pac-12 once again proved to be one of the top conferences in cross country as three ranked men’s teams, No. 4 Stanford, No. 6 Colorado and No. 8 Washington, battled it out for the top three places, respectively.
