Sickness and altitude may have been contributing factors to UCLA cross country’s average performances at the Pac-12 championships this weekend.

Both the men and women’s team placed seventh at the event, held in Louisville, Colo.

The UCLA men’s cross country team finished third in its 8-kilometer race while the women’s team took first in its 5-kilometer race last Friday in the Titan Invitational, held in Fullerton.

UCLA cross-country’s unbeaten streak to start the season came to an end Saturday as the men’s team and the women’s team placed

UCLA cross country will face stiff competition from nationally ranked teams Saturday, as it races in the largest meet of its season thus far – the Wisconsin adidas Invitational.

Golf Complex in Sacramento.

UCLA men’s and women’s cross country teams headed to Sacramento for today’s NCAA Preview, a meet that showcases the top teams in the nation. The Bruins said they feel strong and confident after a successful training season and impressive season openers.

Although the new academic year is just starting, the UCLA swim and dive team has already been back in Westwood for almost four weeks. In addition to having grueling practices twice a day, the month of September has served as a time for the team to get to know each other on a personal level, a factor that senior swimmer Kathryn Murphy says is essential to a successful team.

Although the UCLA swim and dive team finished its collegiate season early in the year, competition has not ended for many Bruins, who continue to swim in elite meets this summer.
