Cross Country: Women win 9th straight conference title

Both New Mexico cross country teams repeated the solid performances many have come to expect of them, with one squad protecting its crown in the Mountain West Championships on Friday in Kuna, Idaho.

The women’s team finished on top with 42 points to hoist its ninth consecutive MW title, while the men’s team also showed a solid performance, placing fifth in the championship.

“Great race on the women's side,” New Mexico head coach Joe Franklin said in a release.

Although the women won the title with the highest score ever to win a conference championship, they still dominated the race as Alice Wright and Calli Thackery finished 1-2.
