Sun Devils Open 2017 Cross Country Campaign at Altitude

George Kyte Classic Meet Notes

TEMPE – The Arizona State cross country teams get back in action Saturday with a trip into the mountains for the George Kyte Classic in Flagstaff.

"It's a good opportunity to open the season in Flagstaff where it's 7,000 feet up," Rasmussen said. "It's a little bit of a challenge to compete at altitude like that. We're really looking at more of the mental side of things, like preparation and how they manage themselves during the course of the race."

The Sun Devils are no strangers to the Buffalo Park course.
