SAN FRANCISCO — The cross country season will continue for two University of San Francisco women's student-athletes, as both Aoibhe Richardson and Sophie Soefeldt have been selected by their respective home countries to compete in the 2019 European Cross Country Championships on Dec. 8, in Lisbon, Portugal.

Thanks in part to her All-American performance Saturday at the NCAA Division I Cross Country National Championship, Richardson was selected to run for Ireland in the main event, the senior women's race.
