The Pre-National field included 45 of the top 60 teams in the nation. The event consisted of a record 87 teams for the women and 86 teams for the men.
The BSU men finished 35th in the White race. The Bronco women finished ninth in the Open race.
Correction
The Arbiter staff would like to run a correction for the use of an image in the Oct. 12 issue.
The Arbiter ran an image of the Utah State Aggie for an article about the Boise State football game at New Mexico State. New Mexico State is also the Aggies, however, the mascot is different for both schools.
We apologize for any confusion and appreciate the help of our readers to find and correct the mistake.
