The Idaho cross-country team hosts the Big Sky Championships Friday at the UI Golf Course.
The season saw repeated team wins and strong performances from veteran runners and newbies.
Idaho head coach Tim Cawley said the overall team dynamic stood out most.
“This team has gelled, on both sides, men and women, they have become a pretty close knit team maybe a little quicker than maybe I thought going into this year,” Cawley said. “You can really just see that kind of coming out. They train well together, they race well together, I think a lot of that is maybe why we see we’re maybe a little more ahead of where we were when the year started.
