LARAMIE, Wyo. – Adding to their record collection of Mountain West Cross Country Championships titles on Friday morning at Jacoby Golf Course, the University of New Mexico women’s team claimed its 15th consecutive crown while Amelia Mazza-Downie became the second runner in school history to earn back-to-back titles.
The Lobos racked up 24 points with five finishers in the top-10, running a strategic race for a comfortable victory over second-place Colorado State University (61 points). “The women did a great job, and it has been an interchangeable group all year,” said UNM head coach Joe Franklin, who was named the Mountain West Coach of the Year for the 14th time in his career.
