I said it would be close. I said it would come down to the wire.

What the hell do I know?

Utah turned it into a blowout thanks to the women’s XC team. If my research is right, they put up the highest score by any gender in a single discipline in any race in the NCAA this season.

Winning a championship requires big-time players making big-time plays in big-time moments. That group of women delivered BIG-TIME.

Indeed. Their performance made it so that we needed only keep pace with Magnus Bøe to secure the walnut and bronze.
