Idaho cross-country took another step forward Friday at the NCAA West Region Cross-Country Championships with the women finishing in 14th overall. The men improved from a 21st place finish last season to 12th, the second-best finish in program history. With this performance, the men’s squad is now nationally ranked. “I thought it was a great day for the Vandals,” said Director of Track and Field/Cross-Country Tim Cawley said in a news release. “Both teams came out and ran strong, ran well as a team. I couldn’t be more-proud of both teams. Travis has done a great job of getting these teams ready and in the right position to peak at the right time of the year.
