LEWISTON, Idaho – Idaho cross country closed out the regular season at the Inland Empire Championships in Lewiston on Saturday morning.  The women dominated the race to win the team title with 19 points.  The Idaho men came in second with 55 points.
 
"I thought both teams ran fantastic today," said director of track and field/cross country, Tim Cawley.  They ran with a lot of confidence and ran as a team.  We're in a good place headed into conference in a few weeks.  I thought this was a great race that showed everything is moving in the right direction and there are good things to come."
