FLAGSTAFF, AZ — Congratulations are in order for Northern Arizona University's men's cross country team!

On Monday, the group traveled to Washington D.C. to celebrate an historic win at the White House, the team's first-ever visit.

The Lumberjacks won their third consecutive NCAA Men's Cross Country National Championship, and their sixth in the last seven years, according to NAU.
