Husky Harriers Report For Duty

All the Husky fall sports squads are officially in the fold, as the men's and women's cross country squads had their first team meeting of the fall today. The teams will hit the ground running tomorrow at 8 a.m. for their first practice, starting out from the Dempsey Indoor.

The Washington women were the talk of the running world last season, as they won every race with ease and captured the national championship. With their top four runners back and five of the top-seven, the women have the potential to be even better, while the men also bring back four of their top-five runners from NCAA's last year where they placed 18th.

But Terre Haute and NCAA's are still many weeks and miles away, and first things first, it was time to fill out paperwork, which the athletes did before freshmen head shots and physicals for all. A team dinner was set for 5 p.m. in the Don James Center.
