As the pandemic continues, the 2020-21 cross country schedule was quite different than in years past. Half of the schools in the country competed in the standard fall season while the other half, including the University of Colorado, are currently winding down the winter season. Due to the adjusted season, the Buffs will only compete in a maximum of four meets depending on if they qualify for the NCAA championships in mid-March.
The No. 1 Stanford Cardinal continue their trek through the ultra-competitive Pac-12, taking on Player of the Year candidate Aari McDonald and the No. 6 Arizona Wildcats on New Year’s Day.
