STILLWATER, Okla. The University of New Mexico women’s cross country season looked different than it has in years past due to the postponement of fall sports in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, the women continued their tradition of excellence, claiming sixth place at the NCAA DI Cross Country Championships with a total of 274 points. The sixth-place finish serves as the 11th-straight top-10 finish for the Lobos in the NCAA Championships. Three Lobos earned All-American honors on the day in Adva Cohen, Gracelyn Larkin, and men’s qualifier Abdirizak Ibrahim, who finished in 35th place.
Similarly, the Lobos have the fifth-longest consecutive NCAA qualifying streak (13) in NCAA Cross Country Championship history. The women’s team is no stranger to streaks, as they won their 13th-straight Mountain West title a week before this race, the longest winning-streak in Mountain West History in any sport.
After leading the district as interim superintendent through months of a global pandemic, Elder was promoted to the permanent position by the Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education on Monday.
