Blue regains lead in Bulldog Blue & White Showdown in Cross Country Races
10.07.2020 | Cross Country
ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville cross country programs took to the track Wednesday evening as part of Bulldog Blue & White Showdown Presented by TD Bank. 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."
