Utah State's cross-country teams performed well at the BYU-hosted Autumn Classic on Saturday, as the Aggies finished second on both the men's and women's sides. Due to two fires 15 miles south of Provo, the Autumn Classic was moved to Utah State's Steve and Dona Reeder Cross Country Course.
"I thought the guys responded well," said second-year USU head coach Artie Gulden. "BYU may be the top team in the country, and we competed with them. They dominated the race, but we held out some guys and competed."
In all, Gulden held out the top-nine women Aggie runners, while five men got the week off.
