"This was an awareness meet for us," said Wyoming head
cross country coach Jim Sanchez. "We're not really
concerned with team scores, I could see that the effort was
there and we're only going to get better. Big improvements
don't happen overnight."
The Wyoming cross country teams will compete next on September 20th at the Woody Greeno Invite in Lincoln, Neb. |
