FRESNO, Calif. – Fresno State will make the drive up to Sacramento this weekend for its third meet of the season as the Bulldogs will compete in the Capital Cross Challenge on Saturday morning at Haggin Oaks Golf Complex.
"We are looking forward to racing this weekend in Sacramento," head coach Christine Engel said. "It is a great course and played host to the NCAA West Region Championships last year. It will be the first 6k and 8k for the women's and men's teams, respectively, this season. It will also be three weeks since our last competition, so we are looking forward to seeing the overall progress of the team from the last block of training."
