For the second straight time this season, the University of Colorado cross country program swept the competition, first in last week’s Pac-12 Championships and now in the NCAA Mountain Region competition. The No. 1 men’s team won, unsurprisingly, by a large margin while the No. 2 women’s team upset No. 1 New Mexico to steal the title last Friday in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Colorado’s performance marked the second year in a row that the men and women swept the regional competition after the women defeated New Mexico last year and the men took down Northern Arizona.
