West Virginia cross-country team to open 2020 season in Pittsburgh

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The WVU cross-country team opens the 2020 season against Pittsburgh in Clinton, Pa., on Friday. The women’s 5k race is slated to begin at 4 p.m., at Youthtowne cross-country course.

“We feel very grateful to have this opportunity to race,” coach Sean Cleary said. “So many schools and young athletes must wait a few more months before being afforded this opportunity. The number of people and the number of hours that have gone into making fall sports a reality is astonishing. For our group to get into their pods, make the quick trip up to Pittsburgh and, after nearly 8 months, get the chance to put it on the line is something they will not take for granted. We are excited
