Colorado cross country teams prepare for NCAA championships, with snow in the forecast

VERONA, Wis. — A low-hanging slate sky loomed over the rolling hills and open fields of Thomas Zimmer Championship cross country course here on Friday, a harbinger of even worse weather to come.

As Colorado teams — the University of Colorado, Colorado State, Air Force and Wyoming — prepare to race at the NCAA cross country championships on Saturday, the National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for the upper Midwest, calling for two to four inches of snow to fall overnight in the area, with the possibility of more.

It sets up the potential for a dramatic finale to the collegiate cross country season.
