I like to keep up with womens xc and I noticed a transfer from Arkansas to Texas A&M by the name of Brooke Upshaw.

Brooke Upshaw won the sec title and was runner of the year for SEC XC and she was just a freshman. I thought Arkansas was a power house for distance running and the womens team did well at Nationals with Brooke Upshaw leading the way. I wonder why did she transfer it appears she had a great xc season. I did notice, however, she was out during most of the track season. Do athletes have to sit out a season when they transfer?

No they don't. They have a one-time exemption policy. If she were to transfer again, yes, she would have to sit out a year.

Where did you see this? How about her buddy Miranda Walker?

It's just sort of leaking out but the rumor is true. I wouldn't think TAMU would have enough money for the both of them Brooke/Miranda. Appears that team is looking up.

I'm more interested in what that Jones girl will do this fall. I know she competed late into the summer but I'm curious how well she will come back for cross season.

I\'m sure Nichole Jones took a little break and might start the season a little slower this fall. If Baylor knows what to do with her she should be fine by mid season cross.
