After a month off of competition, the Boise State men's and women's cross country teams showed no effects, as the men nearly shocked #4 Oregon, finishing seven points behind the Ducks, while the Bronco women were third behind #7 Washington and #5 Oregon.

Oregon had 32 points to win the men's competition, while Boise State had 39 and Washington and #8 Portland tied with 87 points.  Washington had 30 points to win the women's competition, with Oregon at 52 points and Boise State with 63.  

Allan Schroeder was fifth overall in the men's race, finishing the course in 24:19, with Aaron Nelson of Washington winning the individual title in 23:55.

Boise State's Emma Bates was the top collegian on the 5-kilometer course with a time of 16:35.  Teammate Marisa Howard was third in 16:50.

Boise State will get their final tuneup before the Mountain West Championships when they travel to the 2013 Pre-National Invitational in Terre Haute, Indiana, where the upstart Broncos will compete against over 200 teams from throughout the country.
