Cavaliers travel to Paul Short Invitational

The last time the Virginia women's cross country team competed, it earned a perfect score of 15 by sweeping the first seven finishes at the Lou Onesty Open.

Today, the Cavaliers will return to action for the Paul Short Invitational at Lehigh University. The men's cross country team will join them after finishing second behind Georgetown during its season-opening meet.

Junior David Wilson paced the men's team with a 26:20.60 time and finished 13th in the 8K race, while senior Anna Corrigan took first place in the women's 5K race. The women's and men's teams currently rank No. 16 and No. 19, respectively, but neither sits atop its conference - the men's team ranks second in the Southeast region and the women sit at third in the ACC. Both will have a chance to prove themselves against some of the nation's elite competitors Friday, as eight ranked men's teams and three of the country's top five women's teams will race against Virginia.
