LEWISTON, Idaho – A dominating performance by the No. 6 ranked College of Idaho women's cross country team netted the Yotes their third-straight win of the 2020-21 season, blitzing the field at the Lewis-Clark State Winter Invitational at Lewiston Orchards.
The Coyotes had all five scoring runners finish in the Top-6, besting the field of six teams with a score of 20 points, well ahead of nationally-ranked teams from LCSC (51) and Carroll (60) on an extremely windy day in the Inland Northwest.
