For the first time in program history, the BYU men's cross country team is bringing home the national championship.
The men won the title, while the women’s team finished as national runner-ups at the 2019 NCAA Championships at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course in Terre Haute, Ind., on Saturday.
It’s also the first time in program history that both teams placed top-two in the country. Last season, the men finished runner-ups and the women came in seventh. Both teams were ranked No. 3 going into the race.
“It was a huge day for us, for the program,” coach Ed Eyestone said.
