The University of New Mexico Women’s cross country team will compete at the NCAA Championships for the 10th consecutive year—and as the No. 2 team in the country, have a legitimate shot at earning another national championship.

Head coach Joe Franklin said this year's team has a lot of similarities to UNM's 2015 National Championship squad, but in many ways is very different.

New Mexico seemed to blow through the competition in 2015, but both teams had a second-place showing at the Mountain Region Championships.

The women placed second in the NCAA Mountain Region Championships last week.
