The Saturday before Thanksgiving each year is now the day for NCAA cross country (and Nike Border Clash).

The women’s race, over 6000 meters, had the best fans in the sport cheering them on! In the end, Edna Kurgat took the individual title, leading her team, the New Mexico Lobos, to their second win in three years!

Watching Edna Kurgat float around the course, one could see the Lobo dominating the NCAA Division 1 race like few others. And on top of that, Edna lead the New Mexico Lobos to their second NCAA division title. It was their second win at Tom Sawyer State Park.
