The University of New Mexico cross country team competed at the Wisconsin Nuttycombe Invitational last Friday and earned a top-3 finish for the women and a 26th place performance for the men as several runners saw their first action of the season.
UNM head coach Joe Franklin said prior to the event that Nuttycombe would feature several ranked schools and said the talented men’s and women’s field that would be among the most competitive that will be seen all season.
“The quality of the meet is the closest that you will find to the NCAA Championships,” the head coach said.
