UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. - The Richmond men's and women's cross country teams began preseason workouts this week as they prepare for the season-opening Spider Alumni Open on Saturday, Sept. 2.
The Spider women's team finished third at the 2005 Atlantic 10 Championship and the men's team finished fifth. Both teams have a solid group of returnees and a strong group of newcomers who will step in and contribute right away.
"We're excited to be out here, getting back after it," Richmond men's cross country coach Steve Taylor said. "We're getting a chance to see who did their homework this summer and so far it's looking pretty good. The athletes are excited to be back and they're looking forward to getting ready for the season."
