The Nevada athletics department announced Saturday that it will add a men's cross country team next fall and discontinue its sponsorship of rifle as an intercollegiate program following the 2018-19 season.
The Wolf Pack will add men’s cross country as an official sport as part of the Mountain West Conference and NCAA beginning in the fall of 2019.
Nevada spokesman Chad Hartley wrote in a news release: "The moves are to strengthen the Wolf Pack’s alignment within the Mountain West Conference as the institution continues to grow and evolve in its seventh year in the league.
