Mark Wetmore understands the stranglehold his cross country programs have held on the top spot in the Pac-12 Conference since joining the league could be in jeopardy in 2017.
However, that doesn't mean the Buffaloes won't be in the mix once the NCAA championships roll around in late November. Such is the state of the rugged competition in the Pac-12.
Wetmore, set to begin his 23rd season as the leader of CU's cross country programs, expects a loaded field within the conference this fall. The Buffs have won all six men's conference titles since joining the league in 2011, while the women have the past two and three overall.
