ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville cross country programs took to the track Wednesday evening as part of Bulldog Blue & White Showdown. The Blue team won both the women’s race (27 to 28) and men’s race (26 to 29). With the victory, the Blue Bulldogs regain the lead 3-2 heading into the final day.
“We had a great showing tonight in the Blue & White Showdown,” said UNC Asheville Head Cross Country Coach Adam Puett. “Our athletes had a wonderful experience getting to race again and show all of the hard work that they have been putting in over the last eight weeks. As a program, this race really showed how much better we have gotten since the beginning of the school year. We had numerous athletes on our team get all-time personal bests and most of our athletes ran faster than they did in the same distance just seven weeks ago. I am looking forward to seeing our team get to race again in the future.”
