Last weekend would have been the NCAA Division I cross country championship meet in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

One of the great stories I covered in my numerous visits to the NCAA championships was the 2015
@gonzagatfxc women’s team, which qualified for the national championship for the first time in school history, and mixed it up with the blue bloods of the sport.

The team was led in Louisville that day by
@shelbylynnemills who finished 82nd in 20:45.

Afterwards, Mills said, “We ran with the best in the nation and came out with our heads held high. I can’t ask for a better team to have both here and back in Spokane. We’ve definitely felt the Zag love!”

Who will be the next underdog to make it to the big dance? We will find out sometime in March, assuming the teams can compete safely!
