The No. 1 New Mexico women’s cross country team lived up to the team’s ranking after finishing in first place in South Bend, Indiana.
All five women scorers finished among the top-15 at the Joe Piane Notre Dame Invitational as the team finished with a remarkable score of just 29. The men, ranked 17th in the nation, also put forth a solid outing at the meet finishing in ninth place among the 20 teams competing at the invite. It is the eighth straight time both the man and the women placed in the top-10 at Notre Dame.
Courtney Frerichs set the pace for the women’s team with a 16-minute, 27-second performance in the 5-kilometer race, good enough for second place.
