Oct. 23, 2007 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The 2007 MWC Men's and Women's Cross Country Championships, originally scheduled for 10 and 11 a.m. PT, Saturday, October 27, at Mission Bay Park, have been relocated. The championship meets will now be run at the University of New Mexico North Golf Course in Albuquerque. Start time for the men's race will be 10 a.m. MT on Saturday, October 27, followed by the women's race at 11 a.m. MT. The decision to move the cross country championships was made today based upon currently available information relating to: • Federal and state emergency declaration "There is a far greater priority than sporting events in the San Diego area at this time," MWC Commissioner Craig Thompson said Tuesday. "The focus should be on emergency response and resources, and getting the community back on its feet. Our thoughts are with our colleagues at San Diego State University, as well as everyone who has been affected by this disaster." Several other Mountain West Conference intercollegiate contests are being impacted by the fires in the San Diego area. The status of those events is as follows: MWC Football: The BYU at San Diego State football game, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. PT, Saturday, October 27, at Qualcomm Stadium, has been postponed until Saturday, December 1, 2007.
