BOULDER - University of Colorado cross country head coach Mark Wetmore previewed the 2014 season with the local media at CU’s annual fall sports media day on Saturday.
Junior Connor Winter from the men’s 2013 NCAA Championship team joined Wetmore at the podium to talk about the men’s team. The Buffs return all five scorers (Ammar Moussa, Pierce Murphy, Morgan Pearson, Ben Saarel and Blake Theroux) from nationals, as well as the two non-scorers (Zach Perrin and Winter), and are set-up to defend their title this November. Jake Hurysz will also return to the line-up after redshirting the 2013 season.
The women’s team is going to be young, but they return three harriers (Carrie Verdon, Erin Clark and Melanie Nun) from their seventh place finish at NCAAs. Both teams have added several new faces and are set to start fall training on August 14.
The season will start on August 30 at the CU Time Trial at the Buffalo Ranch Cross Country Course on CU’s South Campus. Admission and Parking are free.
