COACH'S CORNER

"We ran pretty well," coach Adam Bray said. "Those women were fighting for a spot to compete next week at Penn State, which is what we would call the `ACC-type' group. Overall, I thought our performance was really good, and it was really great to see them go out and compete really hard, especially right here in our backyard again ."

LOOKING AHEAD

The Pitt men's and women's cross country teams will get a preview of the 2016 NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regionals site when they race at PSU Nationals Friday, Oct. 14, in University Park, Pa.
