New Mexico ended the season as champions again, picking up its second national championship in three years by capturing the 2017 NCAA Championship title in Louisville, Kentucky on Saturday.
The women's cross country team is no stranger to performing at an elite level—having finished in seventh place at the same venue last season. In fact, the squad has finished in the top 10 for eight consecutive years after Saturday's performance, winning the whole thing in 2015.
Head coach Joe Franklin said this year's squad was different, but the end result was the same as the Lobos stood atop the national cross country landscape with almost a completely different roster than two years ago.
