In the first big race of the 2018 season, the second-ranked University of Colorado women's cross country team did not disappoint as they won the Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational against an impressive field on Friday afternoon at Thomas Zimmer Championship Cross Country Course.
Colorado recorded an 11-point victory over No. 5 Boise State (80-91) and a 50-point win over top-ranked New Mexico (80-130) despite the Lobos placing three in the top 10.
"This is the first serious race we've been in; I think the women were careful and controlled bearing in mind that there's seven weeks to go, so we were happy with their outcome," head coach Mark Wetmore said.
