the women’s side, Texas is not ranked. Both are receiving votes in the poll. Besides Colorado, there are 15 schools that have qualified both men’s and women’s teams. Those schools are: Arkansas, Boise State, BYU, Furman, Iowa State, Michigan, Michigan State, Mississippi, NC State, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Stanford, Syracuse, Utah State and Washington.

HOW THEY GOT TO NATIONALS: The women won their fifth straight NCAA Mountain Region Championship to automati-cally move on to NCAAs, while the men’s team placed third and had to earn an at-large bid. The top-ranked women’s team led the whole way, running a very controlled and smart race to earn its ninth straight trip to the NCAA Championships, besting No. 2 New Mexico for the fifth consecutive year (62-70). Colorado’s men, which were ranked fifth nationally and third in the region, finished exactly on paper where they were supposed to finish. The Buffs ran a great race, finishing just one point behind No. 2 BYU (79-80). Northern Arizona won with 49 points.

INDIVIDUAL REGION CHAMPION: Sophomore Joe Klecker, who finished second at the Pac-12 Championships two weeks ago, had one of his best cross country races ever, defeating BYU’s Rory Linkletter by just one second (30:13.6-30:14.6). Klecker was 14th after the first two miles before jumping up to third at the three-mile split. He stayed there until the final portion of the race to become the first Buff since Billy Nelson [in 2005] to win the men’s region championship.

WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR: The top-ranked women’s team suffered its first loss of the season, recording 134 points in the 6k team race. No. 12 Oregon won the NCAA cham-pionship by one point over fifth-ranked Michigan (125-126). The Buffs had four females earn All-America honors: Dani Jones, Kaitlyn Benner, Mackenzie Caldwell and Sage Hurta. The second-ranked men finished the 10k race sixth overall with 223 points. Top-ranked Northern Arizona won the meet with 125 points and No. 5 Stanford placed second overall (158). Three men were named to the All-America team: Ben Saarel, Joe Klecker and John Dressel. ALL-REGION AWARDS: Mark Wetmore was named the USTFCCCA Mountain Region Women’s Coach of the Year, while sophomore Joe Klecker was named the USTFCCCA Mountain Region Men’s Athlete of the Year. Wetmore guided the top-ranked Colorado women to their fifth straight region championship as the Buffs bested second-rated New Mexico, 62-70. The Buffs also captured their third consecutive, fourth overall, Pac-12 Conference title on Oct. 27. This is the ninth time Wetmore has earned the honor for coaching the women, while it’s his 21st overall honor as he has been named the men’s region coach of the year 12 times. Klecker won the men’s NCAA Mountain Region title in 30:13.6. He also placed runner-up at the Pac-12 Champion-ships and was ninth at the NCAA Pre-National Invitational. He is the first Buff since Billy Nelson in 2005 to win a men’s individual region crown. All-Region honors were given to 10 Buffs as the top-25 in each race are honored. Makena Morley, Dani Jones, Sage Hurta, Kaitlyn Benner, Brianna Schwartz and Melanie Nun were honored on the women’s side, while Joe Klecker, Zach Perrin, Ryan Forsyth and Eduardo Herrara recorded honors on the men’s side.

ALL-PAC-12 AWARDS: Several Buffaloes earned Pac-12 Honors on Oct. 31, as announced by the conference. Head

Coach Mark Wetmore was named the Pac-12 Women’s Coach of the Year and junior Dani Jones was named the Pac-12 Women’s Athlete of the Year in addition to several others earning all-conference honors. Wetmore guided the women’s team to their third straight Pac-12 team title last Friday; the fourth overall title since joining the Pac-12 Conference in 2011. This is the fourth time he’s earned the award on the women’s side and it is the 31st overall time Wetmore has been named the conference coach of the year including both Big 12 and Pac-12 honors. Jones is the first CU runner to earn Pac-12 Cross Country Athlete of the Year after winning the championship last Friday in 18:57.3. Jones pulled away from Neale and course-record holder Katie Rainsberger over the final 100 meters for the victory. It marked Jones’ third Conference title in the calendar year as she also captured the 1,500- and 5,000-meter crowns at the 2017 Pac-12 Outdoor Track & Field Championships. The Buffs also had seven individual harriers, four men and three women, named to the 2017 All-Pac-12 Teams. Jones earned first team honors, while senior Kaitlyn Benner and sophomore Sage Hurta were named to the second team. On the men’s side, junior Ryan Forsyth and sopho-more Joe Klecker were named for the first team, while redshirt

freshman Eduardo Herrera and senior Adam Peterman were selected to the second team. All-Pac-12 teams are determined by an athlete’s placing at the Pac-12 Championship. First team members include the first through seventh place finishers, while those who place eighth through 14th earn a position on the second team.

USTFCCCA FEMALE ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Days after winning her first Pac-12 Cross Country Championship, junior Dani Jones was named the USTFCCCA Division I Women’s Athlete of the Week. She is the first Buff to ever record the honor. In the USTFCCCA Poll, the Colorado women moved back up to first, while the men held steady at fifth. Jones won the 2017 championship in exciting fash-ion. She surged ahead of Washington’s Amy-Eloise Neale, the 2016 champion, and Oregon’s Katie Rainsberger, the course record-holder, to win the individual crown in 18:57.3. Jones is the first Buff to win an individual cross country title in the Pac-12 and first since Jenny Barringer (Simpson) to win an individual conference title since 2009. Jones led the CU women to their third straight title, defeating Oregon 53-71, which helped to propel them up the USTFCCCA Poll from third to first.

FOUR IN SEVEN YEARS: The CU women’s team has won four of the seven Pac-12 titles since joining the league in 2011. The Buffs won the inagural title in 2011, defeating Washington 50-73. They won again in 2015, this time besting Oregon 45-51. CU made it two straight in 2016 when the Buffs handily defeated Washington 33-74. CU made it a three-peat when they defeated Oregon 53-71 in 2017.

HIGHEST PAC-12 FINISH: When Joe Klecker recorded a second place finish at the Pac-12 Championships on Oct. 27, he became the highest placing Buff ever at the conference championship. Prior to Klecker’s runner-up performance, the best finish was Ben Saarel’s third-place finish in 2016. It’s not the best finish in overall conference history for the Buffs though as several won individual conference titles prior to CU joining the Pac-12.

THE STREAK IS OVER: After winning the first six Pac-12 titles since the league expanded to 12 teams in 2011, the Buffs saw their streak come to an end on Oct. 27 as Stanford bested CU 41-47. The Cardinal had three of the top four finishers, which ultimately helped SU take down the Buffs.

LEADING THE WAY: Since joining the conference in 2011, the women’s team has more Pac-12 Championships (four) than any other team, with Oregon winning two and Arizona one.

MORE THAN 70 PERCENT: The Buffs have won 10 of 14 possible cross country championships since 2011, which is .714 percent. The men have come away with six titles, while the women have won four.

WETMORE CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS: For coach Mark Wetmore, the 2017 Pac-12 Women’s Conference Cham-pionship is the 33rd since he became coach prior to the 1996 season. He won 23 championships in the Big 12 and now has 10 in the Pac-12. He has more conference championships than any coach in CU history. Under Wetmore, the Buffs have claimed 33 of a pos-sible 44 conference championships, 23 of a possible 30 in the Big 12 and 10 of a possible 14 in the Pac-12.

CONFERENCE HISTORY: The Buffs have had a habit of doing well at the conference meet no matter what the confer-ence. The men have won a total of 28 championships and have been the runner-up 19 times, including in 2017. The lowest finish the men have ever recorded was eighth in 1960.

They have never placed lower than second since 1990 when they were sixth at the Big Eight Championships. The men have also won the first six Pac-12 Conference team titles (2011, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16). The women have also done well. They have won 19 titles, four in the Pac-12, and placed second eight times since 1976. The women have never placed lower than sixth at the conference meet.

WHAT IS IN A POLL: Both CU teams are ranked in the top-five of the latest USTFCCCA Division I Coaches Poll. The women are first, while the men are fifth. They are both the highest ranked Pac-12 team in each poll.

COMBINED RANKINGS: The Buffs have a combined rank-ing of six in the recent USTFCCCA Poll with the women first and the men fifth. The next highest combined team score is Stanford at 10 (men sixth, women fourth).

PAC-12 RECAP: For the third straight year, the Colorado women’s cross country team reigned supreme as the Pac-12 Conference Cross Country Champions, taking home the title at the Springfield Golf Club on Oct. 27. In addition to the team win, CU’s Dani Jones, a junior, took home the individual championship, becoming the first Buff since Jenny (Barringer) Simpson (2009) to win a confer-ence title. The men’s team ended up with a second-place finish, finishing behind Stanford by just six points (41-47), which was the identical score that CU recorded in 2016 when it

THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE REALITY: Colorado head coach Mark Wetmore enters his 26th season at Colorado, his 23rd as head coach. He became CU’s sixth head cross country and track and field coach on November 6, 1995. Wetmore is the only Division I cross country coach to win all four NCAA titles – men’s and women’s team and men’s and women’s individual – at the same school. Wetmore’s squads have won seven national cross country titles since 2000. The women won in 2000 while the men won the following year. Both teams captured the cham-pionship again in 2004 (CU became only the third school to win both championships in the same year). The men won again in 2006, 2013 and 2014. Wetmore has coached Adam Goucher (1998), Jorge Torres (2002) and Dathan Ritzenhein (2003) to men’s individual cross country titles, while Kara Grgas-Wheeler won the 2000 women’s crown. CU athletes have earned 122 All-American cross country honors during his tenure. Wetmore has been named the NCAA Women’s Cross Country Coach of the Year twice (’00 and ’04) and the NCAA Men’s Cross Country Coach of the Year three times (‘06, ‘13 and ‘14). He is a 30-time conference coach of the year and in 2014, USA Track and Field named him the USA Co-Coach of the Year. In addition to national titles, his teams won 23 Big 12 Cross Country Team Titles (11 women’s, 12 men’s), 16 individual Big 12 Cross Country Titles and Wetmore was named Big 12 Conference Cross Country Coach of the Year 19 times. He was the winningest Big 12 Conference head coach among all sports when CU left the conference in 2011. CU joined the Pac-12 Conference in the fall of 2011 and Wetmore’s teams won the inaugural Pac-12 men’s and women’s titles – the first Pac-12 Championships in any sport. His men have won the first six titles after joining the league in 2011 and his women have won four (2011, ‘15, ‘16 and ‘17). On the track, Wetmore’s athletes have had a strong presence at the conference, national and professional lev-els. They’ve captured 100 individual conference titles, two conference team titles, 16 NCAA individual titles and earned 183 All-American honors. CU athletes have broken seven collegiate middle and long distance records. CU runners’ success at the professional and post-collegiate level is unmatched by any university: over two dozen Buff grads have signed professional contracts. They’ve combined for more than 49 USA titles in cross country, track & field and road racing. Since 2000, 10 CU athletes or graduates have earned 19 U.S. Olympic Team berths at distances from 1,500-meters through the mara-thon. Fourteen current and former Buffs have earned 31 spots on U.S. World Championship Track Teams and 25 have combined for 61 berths on U.S. World Champion-ship Cross Country Teams. Since 2004, CU graduates have won seven medals in distance running at World Champion-ships – Shayne Culpepper (bronze, 2004 Indoor 3k), Kara Goucher (silver, 2007 10k), Dathan Ritzenhein (bronze, 2009 Half Marathon), Jenny Simpson (gold, 2011 1,500m and sil-ver, 2013 and 2017 1,500m) and Emma Coburn (gold, 2017 steeplechase). Coburn (steeplechase) and Simpson (1,500) became the first to win Olympic medals, both bronze, at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. They were the first American women to medal in their respective events. Charles Mark Wetmore graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in English Education from Rutgers in 1978 before receiving his Master’s in movement sciences from Columbia in 1998. He lives in the mountains west of Boulder.
