BOULDER – The University of Colorado cross country teams started off the 2023 season on a beautiful Friday morning here at the Buffalo Run Cross Country Course. Despite many runners not competing, the Buffaloes placed fairly well in the opening time trials.
Last years opening races consisted of just the University of Colorado and Colorado Christian, however this year the Colorado School of Mines joined the competition as well.
The women's race began the day as the runners participated in a 5.3k made up of three laps around the course. After the first loop, Colorado's Karrie Baloga was off to a great start, leading the pack as a true freshman.
