For five years, the women’s cross-country team has seen its conference results and overall output take a fall.
Prior to this season, UTA’s last piece of championship hardware came in 2014, when it won the Sun Belt Conference Cross Country Championship.
Since then, the team’s conference results have steadily declined. UTA placed third in 2015, fifth in 2016, eighth in 2017 and 10th last season.
Head coach John Sauerhage said this is the year things turn around, and this season’s squad is light-years ahead of where it was last year.
The team finished third of five teams at the Baylor Bear Twilight Invitational in Waco to kick off the 2019 season.
