Every year, 12 teams enter the cross country season with championship aspirations, but in the end only one team will walk away as champions. In the American Athletic Conference this year that team was Tulsa University.
Tulsa walked away with titles for both its men’s and women’s teams, as for the Pirates they finished in the middle of the pack at the respectable sixth spot. Compared to last year, though the men took a step up moving up from eighth place to sixth while the women remained at sixth.
“You are never going to be satisfied from a team perspective if you don’t win,” head coach Josey Weaver said.
