What long distance runners do for you is give the school a chance to win six conference championships--two in cross country, two in indoor track & field and two in outdoor track & field. And today, Boise State's cross country teams proved they are on target to become part of the elite.
Boise State's men's team was ranked #20 this week while the women made their first-ever appearance in the national Top 25 at #25. The Bronco women finished 11th at the prestigious 2013 Pre-National Invitational last weekend, while the men finished eighth.
Boise State is thus one of only 12 programs in the country to have both men and women ranked in the Top 25. The others are: Arkansas (#12 men, #2 women), Colorado (#1 men, #16 women), Indiana (#24 men, #21 women), New Mexico (#9 men, #9 women), Notre Dame (#23 men, #22 women), Oregon (#4 men, #12 women), Princeton (#15 men, #23 women), Providence (#19 men, #4 women), Stanford (#13 men, #20 women), Syracuse (#14 men, #19 women) and Washington (#25 men, #13 women. The Pac-12 is the only other conference besides the Mountain West to have more than one team owning this distinction.
