Cross Country Teams Ready for New Season!

The BVU Men's and Women's Cross Country Teams are ready to embark on a new season with high hopes.  After a disappointing ninth place finish at last years Conference Meet, the Women's team is determined to finish in the top seven this year, while the Men's team is looking for a top five finish with all varsity runners returning.  The Women's team will be lead by Junior Courtney Jones, who has really stepped up her workouts this year in pursuit of a top 20 finish at Conference.  The team will be without Junior captain Paige Gruis, who is in Washington, DC on an Internship this semester.  The Men's team will be led by it's lone Senior Josh Saba, and Juniors Matt Hanson.and Travis DeRidder.  The Mens team returns all top five runners from last years varsity squad and they are looking to move from up from the dissapointing 8th place finish last year.  Both squads are much stronger this year, with some good depth so we can hopefully avoid the injury and illnesses that plaqued our teams at last years conference meet.  This is a new year and a new season is a upon us, and based off the first few weeks of practice these teams are much improved from last year!
