With four runners among the top-13 finishers Friday in the NCAA Mountain Regional Cross Country meet, the second-ranked New Mexico women dominated to repeat as regional champions and earn a 15th consecutive trip to the NCAA Championships.

The Lobos finished with 56 points, well ahead of runners-up Utah and Northern Arizona, which are also both ranked among the top-10 and tied with 103 points on the UNM North Golf Course path.

And New Mexico accomplished this with one of its best runners, Samree Dishon, finishing an uncharacteristic 98th while battling a bout of food poisoning, said coach Joe Franklin.
