Lobo runners ranked fourth
The University of New Mexico women’s cross country team has yet to run in this abridged season, but it has improved from No. 5 nationally to No. 4 in the latest coaches poll, released Wednesday. UNM is behind top-ranked Arkansas, BYU and No. 3 North Carolina State.
UNM sends 11 women to run Friday in the Battle Born Collegiate Cross Country Challenge in Las Vegas, Nev. It will be the lone event before March 5 Mountain West Conference meet, also set in Las Vegas, Nev. The NCAA Championships take place March 15 in Stillwater, Okla.
