SEATTLE, Wash. – Championship season is in full swing for Idaho cross country, with the Vandals heading out to the NCAA West Region Championship on Friday.  The women's 6k race begins at 10:30 a.m., while the men's 10k race will start at 11:30 a.m.
 
Idaho was outstanding at the Big Sky Championships two weeks ago.  The women improved their standing from a season ago, jumping up to third overall among a very challenging field.  Krista Story was the top runner for the Vandals, finishing seventh overall.
 
The men also improved from a year ago.  The men finished fourth with 123 points, a 40-point improvement on last year, behind a pair of nationally ranked opponents.  Dwain Stucker took first for Idaho, finishing 18^th overall.
 
Idaho was solid at last year's West Regional, with the women finishing 13^th out of 35 teams and the men placing 21^st.  Kara Story led the way for the women, while Grayson Ollar was the men's top runner.  Both will be back in the Silver and Gold on Friday.
