Western Kentucky's cross country squads earned top-five finishes as they wrapped up the regular season at the Blazer Classic in Hoover, Ala., on Friday.
The men placed second out of seven schools in the 8K, finishing just behind Georgia Tech, while the women placed fifth out of eight teams in the 6K.
“Today the men had their best performance of the season,” WKU cross country head coach Brooks LeCompte said in a news release. “We reduced our top-five spread by over a minute and they closed the race well. The guys are stepping up when it matters and in two weeks we want to come back and replicate that.
