MISSOULA, Mont. – Idaho cross country got its season out to a tremendous start on Friday at the annual Clash of the Inland Northwest, this year held in Missoula.
"The athletes looked fantastic," said director of track and field/cross country
Tim Cawley. "It was really fun to watch both teams, they both ran great. On the women's side, watching
Andrea Condie win her first college race was just amazing. The rest of the women's team behind her also ran really well, just a really strong performance. The guys were much of the same, with Grayson leading the way. They maintained their composure and the team looked fantastic.
Travis Floeck has done an excellent job getting them ready to this point."
The women dominated, defeating all three other Division I opponents.
