Sports in brief: Lobos to run for NCAA title; Aggies whacked in South Carolina hoops event

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The No. 2-ranked University of New Mexico women hope to capture their third national title in seven seasons when they race 30 other teams early Saturday at the NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships at the Apalachee Regional Park.

The Lobo women have run well all season, grabbing the top seven spots in scoring perfectly at the Mountain West meet held at UNM North Golf Course, then with six runners earning all-Mountain Region honors in capturing that title. And that doesn’t even count Adva Cohen, the Lobos’ top runner (22nd place) at the 2020 nationals, which were delayed by COVID until this past spring.
