OGDEN, Utah The Weber State men's and women's cross country team will have a chance to punch their ticket to the NCAA Championships this weekend. They will head to Albuquerque, New Mexico to take part in the NCAA Mountain Region cross country championships on Friday morning. lt;br />Both teams hope to build off their solid performances at the Big Sky Championships two weeks ago.
