Gracelyn Larkin had a pretty good feeling about the University of New Mexico women’s cross country program when she saw the reaction of her coach, Mark Harris, after simply receiving a call-back from Lobos coach Joe Franklin.
Larkin, originally from Rosseau, Ontario, and in high school at the time, wanted to visit UNM after Harris’ reaction. She was also interested because of the Lobos’ rich tradition and their reputation as a home for international runners. Harris helped Larkin with the recruiting process, reaching out to coaches in the United States.
