FRESNO, Calif. – Fresno State will head to Albuquerque this Friday as the Bulldogs are set to compete in the Mountain West Championships. The meet will be held at UNM North Golf Course and hosted by New Mexico. The 'Dogs previously raced the course in the season-opening Lobo Invitational on Sept. 2.
"Obviously the Mountain West is an extremely competitive conference in cross country," head coach Christine Engel said. "Our group made some big individual improvements in our last competition and we are hoping to build on that momentum this Friday."

HOW THE 'DOGS SHAPE UP IN 2017
The men's squad returns four of its seven runners from last season, including seniors Efren Reyes and Joel Gonzalez. Reyes and Gonzalez have been Fresno State's top two the entire season. Newcomers to the roster are junior Jose Aispuro, and freshmen Matthew Founds and Alekos Mitchel. Founds has been the Bulldogs' third finisher in two races thus far.
The lone returners on the women's side are seniors Annelis Walker and Cristal Rivera (did not compete in 2016) as the team will welcome four new runners in freshmen Ellie Leather and Lydia Scott, sophomore Sami Shields, and graduate transfer Kathleen Dunne who comes over from Long Beach State. Dunne and Scott bring a solid one-two punch for the 'Dogs going into the MW Championships.
