Greeley, Colo (October 31, 2009) - The Northern Arizona cross country teams captured the Big Sky Conference XC crown for the third consecutive year. The task was not easy as the field had to deal with frigid temperatures and muddy conditions. Junior David McNeill and senior Veronica Pohl captured the individual titles once again for the Lumberjacks, as the duo accomplished the same feat in 2008.

The battle for second-place was hotly contested in both the women’s and men’s races. The Montana State men were able to hold off in-state rival the University of Montana by eight points, and the Weber State women also held off the Grizzlies to capture second place.

The top 10 finishers in each race represent the Big Sky All-Conference teams. Northern Arizona was able to place five women and seven men on the respective teams.
