On Friday, Nov. 13, San Diego State cross country will look to put the Mountain West Championships behind it when it competes in the NCAA West regionals.
After a successful season that began with three wins in five races, the team was fairly disappointed when it finished ninth at the conference championships.
Assistant coach Karoly Varga said the team had hoped to place within the top six, but the high elevation affected the team in a negative way. The team was preparing to run in Reno, Nevada, at the elevation of 4,500 feet. However, the meet was held at the Montreux Golf Course at 5,700-feet elevation.
