Â
TANKS NABS SILVER
Former Utah All-American Poppy Tank recently helped Team Great Britain & Northern Ireland earn silver at the 2024 European Cross Country Championships in Antalya, Turkey, this past Sunday.

VENTERS CONTINUES TO ROLL
Utah alums continue shine with Emily Venters crushing her previous 5000m indoor PR with a run of 15:03.54 at the Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener meet in Boston. The former Ute has now taken silver at the USATF 5k Championship and won the World Athletics Cross Country Tour Gold race to go with her new PR to kick off the indoor season in the last two months.
UP NEXT
The Women of Utah will get some time to rest and train during the holiday break before returning to campus to gear up for the full indoor slate beginning the second week of January. The Utes will take a short drive up to Ogden for the Weber State Indoor Invitational.
