Woelk: For CU Cross Country, Excellence Is Baseline Standard

BOULDER — Saturday morning, the Colorado Buffaloes' men's and women's cross country teams will toe the starting line at the NCAA Championships in Terre Haute, Ind., where they will both be in contention for top 10 finishes.

In other breaking news, the sun will rise in the east.

To be honest, it is only news when Mark Wetmore's Buffaloes — men and women — are not at the NCAA Championships and not in contention for a top-10 finish. The men are making their 28th consecutive NCAA Championships appearance, the longest such streak in the nation; the women are making their 11th in a row and 27th in the last 28 years.
