SAN DIEGO - The San Diego State cross country team travels to Sin City to compete in the UNLV Invitational on Saturday morning at North Last Vegas' Craig Ranch Regional Park. The college/university women's 5,000-meter race is set to kickoff at 8:15 a.m. PT.
The Aztecs are competing at a UNLV meet for the first time since the 2012 Mountain West Championships and at a regular season meet for the first time since the UNLV Desert Invitational on Oct. 1, 2011.
Joining the Aztecs will be the host Rebels, Southern Utah and USC. This will be the second time this season SDSU has faced UNLV and USC, the first time being two weeks ago at the 71st Aztec Invitational.
