Here we go again. In the past few months, the winds of change have swept over the Middle East and parts of Europe in ways never before seen. The storm moved across lands ruled by tyrants for generations; the sounds were thunderous with despair, yet somehow peaceful with the hope of a new tomorrow.

Squaring off against some of their toughest competition of the year, the Washington University men’s and women’s cross country teams placed fourth and sixth, respectively, at the Univeristy of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Brooks Invitational on Saturday, Oct. 16.

Only the number one team in the country could beat Wash. U.’s women’s cross country team in Saturday’s meet at Oshkosh, Wis. The men’s team finished seventh out of 35 as the women beat out 32 other squads.
