Overall, the UVU men finished third with 53 points, just two points behind second-place Wyoming, while the women finished second with 47 points behind Colorado State (20).

"I think comparing ourselves to last year we are getting close to where we were," UVU cross country coach Scott Houle said. "We changed our workouts a bit and we're setting ourselves up to be better in the future."

All five UVU men's runners finished in the top 19. Behind McCabe, Spencer Evensen finished in the top 10 in eighth with the time of 22:29.9. Jared Keller (11th, 22:41.6), Logan Petty (14th, 23:07.5) and Trevor Baker (19th, 23:56.2) rounded out UVU's top 5.

Houle was pleased with the women's finishes of fifth, ninth, 10th, 11th and 12th.
