The New Mexico cross country team likely found out its fate on Friday at the NCAA Mountain Regional Championships.
The women’s team coasted into nationals by placing second at the NCAA Mountain Regional Championships, finishing just one point behind Colorado. The men’s team finished in ninth place which likely put an end to its season.
Head coach Joe Franklin said he was not upset that the women finished just one point away from winning the race, even after waving some of the competitors around the pack of Lobos. He said the goal was for the team to do what it had to do to make nationals.
