The University of Arkansas women won the team title at the NCAA Cross Country Championships on Saturday in Terre Haute, Ind., completing a sweep of team championships in running sports during the 2019 calendar year.
The Razorbacks won the NCAA indoor and outdoor track and field championships earlier this year.
The cross country championship was the fifth won in the three sports by longtime Arkansas coach Lance Harter, and the Razorbacks’ first in women’s cross country. Harter had four national runner-up finishers at Arkansas in the 1990s.
Paced by third- and fourth-place finishes from seniors Katie Izzo and Taylor Werner, the Razorbacks scored 96 points and finished just ahead of second-place BYU with 102.
