The New Mexico cross country teams return to their home track as New Mexico hosts the upcoming Mountain West Championships on Friday at the UNM North Golf Course.
UNM has had plenty of success competing in the conference championships over the years. While the men had its consecutive Mountain West Championship streak snapped at six a couple of years ago, the women are still riding an active streak of nine straight conference titles.
The women’s team, which is ranked No. 2 in the country, could be poised to protect that crown. Sophomore sensation Ednah Kurgat has posted back-to-back individual wins at the Joe Piane Notre Dame Invitational, followed by another top performance at the Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational.
