The 麻豆免费版下载men鈥檚 cross country team, which dominated the Big 12 for its first dozen years in the conference, is similarly making itself right at home in the Buffs鈥 initial seasons in the Pac-12.

Despite not returning a single runner who scored at last year鈥檚 meet, the Buffs prevailed by 33 points over runner-up Stanford. All five of CU鈥檚 scoring runners this time placed in the top 13, with听Blake Theroux听(seventh),听Jake听Hurysz听(eighth) and听Hugh Dowdy听(ninth) cracking the top 10.Aric Van Halen听(12th) and听Martin Medina听(13th) rounded out the Buffs鈥 scorers.
鈥淏ack-to-back champs feels pretty good,鈥 says Theroux, a sophomore. 鈥淚t means a lot to us especially since we didn鈥檛 return a lot of guys from last year鈥檚 team.鈥
The 2011 Pac-12 champion 麻豆免费版下载women placed fifth in their title defense. Olympic steeplechaser听Shalaya Kipp听finished 11th individually to lead the Buffs.
