MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University cross country team will take part in an intrasquad Gold-Blue Race at the WVU Agronomy Farm on Saturday, Sept. 6. The race is set to begin at 10 a.m.
The Mountaineers are coming off a top finish at the Preston Relays, the team’s 2008 debut, on Aug. 30. Redshirt freshman Ahna Lewis and junior Karly Hamric finished first overall in the race with a combined time of 35:45.50, which featured Alderson-Broaddus College, Davis and Elkins and West Virginia Wesleyan.
The Gold-Blue Race, which will only feature the Mountaineers, is the lone home race for the team.
The squad returns all seven starting runners from last season’s conference champion team that took ninth-place at the NCAA Championships, including the junior All-American duo of Marie-Louise Asselin and Keri Bland.
