TUCSON, Ariz. — For the second straight year, Colorado reigned supreme at the Pac-12 Men's and Women's Cross Country Championships, sweeping the team titles Friday morning at Randolph North Golf Course.
 
The championship was the sixth straight title for the men's team and the third overall title for the women's team. Since joining the Pac-12 Conference in 2011, CU has won nine of 12 league cross country titles.
 
THE WOMEN'S RACE: The top-ranked CU women's team proved they deserved their ranking, easily defeating some of the best teams in the country to win their second straight Pac-12 title. The Buffs put together a total score of 33, besting No. 2 Washington by 41 points (74), the third-largest margin of victory in Pac-10/12 Conference history.
 
The Buffs were second overall through the first two kilometers, but moved into the lead at the halfway point and never looked look back. Colorado was so dominant that it placed seven runners in the top 20.
