For the second-consecutive year, Utah State’s men’s cross-country team captured the team title at the 45th running of the Lehigh-hosted Paul Short Run, presented by ASICS, held Saturday morning at the Goodman Campus Cross Country Course.
The Aggies won the title with 77 points, narrowly finishing ahead of Virginia Tech’s 80 points. On the women’s side, 14th-ranked Utah State took third in the event with 163 points.
“The men ran tough and as a team,” said second-year USU head cross-country coach Artie Gulden. “Virginia Tech had us beat with 1,000 kilometers to go, but the guys fought hard and passed a number of people the last 4-500 meters to secure the win.
