On the left side is information about the 2021 CCAA Cross Country Championships, including a CCAA Cross Country Championships logo and the race time (October 23 and 10 a.m.) and place (Cal State San Marcos).
We've added a recap from the @CSUSMxctf Cougar Classic.
@NCAADIII No. 3 @SagehenRunning beat @NCAADII No. 4 @ChicoStateXC in the men's race, while NCAA DII No. 13 Chico State upset NCAA DII No. 6 @GoStanState in the women's race.
Both team titles were decided by just 2 points!
Before every race, the @ChicoState women's cross country team gathers in a circle, begins to rotate and chants: "Ain't No Runner Like a Chico Runner 'Cause a Chico Runner Don't Stop!" Already highly-ranked regionally and nationally, these Wildcats don't plan to stop rising!
