Alumni Report: A National Title For Mines

Bobby Reyes

Saturday was a busy day for collegiate cross country! Four national meets spanned the country, as D1, D2, D3, and NAIA competed this weekend. 

But we've got to give a big shoutout to the D2 National Champions - Golden, Colorado's own Colorado School of Mines. 

Of the big reasons for the shoutout - all five scoring runners from their national champion squad came from Colorado.

Kyle Moran - Cherry Creek 2017, Dylan Ko - Fossil Ridge 2017, Luc Hagen - Air Academy 2016, Ben Schneiderman - Liberty 2014, and Jake Mitchem - Broomfield 2016.
