The men took the ground right after, and CU was able to run into the 19th spot out of the 31 teams competing.

Secor rounded out her first semester as a Buff with this race. The freshman transferred from Tennessee just before the fall season and ended up being the only one on the women’s team to make the championship thanks to her excellent time at regionals (20:10.2).
Casey has led the men’s team all season long, and this race was no different as he placed 30th overall. This was Haug’s first-ever 10k race, yet that did not stop him from being the Buffs’ second-best runner and placing 105th overall.
This officially marks the end of the fall cross country season. However, the Buffs runners still have winter and spring track seasons to look forward to.
