UNM cross country qualified its women's team as well as an individual on the men's side for the NCAA Championships next week after a solid showing at the Mountain Region Championships on Friday.
The women’s race was won by UNM sophomore Ednah Kurgat, who took home an individual win for the fourth straight time despite the level of competition presumably rising each meet.
She paced the field with a finishing time of 20:01.4 and seems to be primed for success and figures to be one of the top candidates with a shot at an individual win on the national stage on Friday.
