Cougars head to AAC Cross County Championship in Tennessee

The American Athletic Conference Cross Country regular season has come to an end, and now, the best runners from teams across the conference will travel to compete on Friday at the AAC Cross Country Championship in Memphis, Tennessee.

The men’s team will look to finish in the top-five team performances for the first time since 2015, where they finished third.

The following three years Houston finished eight, sixth and ninth in the conference championships.

Houston has not had a men’s runner make the All-Conference team since 2017, when then-redshirt senior Brian Barraza finished runner-up in the 8,000 meters with a time of 25:06.
