While Albuquerque gets the D2 indoor meet for the next two years, cross will return to Evansville, Ind., for 2009.
I was there for the 2004 meet -- hosted by Southern Indiana -- when Western State again defeated their in-state rivals during the Mountaineers years of dominance (it was their fifth title in six years). A flat start and finish is interrupted by some sharp hills in the woods. It was one of those particularly sharp ones that Western flexed its muscle and won handily.
As you may recall, the NCAA has proposed another fall sports "festival" in 2010 -- and may push the championship race into December.
I thought Evansville was a great XC course!
