KERNERSVILLE, N.C. – The University of Miami cross country program battled against conference foes at the ACC Championships Friday.

The Canes had 14 student-athletes race at the conference meet. Eight men competed in the 8K race at 10 a.m. and six women hit the 6K course at 11 a.m. at Beeson Park.
