Weber State
CROSS COUNTRY: Weber State's women's and men's cross country teams each used "pack running" to their advantage, sweeping the Big Sky Conference championships Saturday in Sacramento, Calif.
It marked the first time in WSU school history that both teams won championship in the same season.
Sharlyn Maughan, a true freshman from Rupert, Idaho, led the Weber women with a second-place individual finish in a time of 17:53 over the 5K course. Jenny Mortensen, who was last year's individual runner-up to teammate Summer Schenck, placed fourth (18:10), followed closely by teammate Stefanie Hansen in fifth (18:15).
Weber State's Schenck was sidelined by a sore foot, but teammate Angie Dunn helped the 'Cats by finishing 15th.
The WSU women last won the conference title in 1993.
The Wildcats scored 38 points. Defending champion Northern Arizona, the 1997 preseason pick by the league's coaches to win the meet, was second with 55 points.
Idaho State was third . Northern Arizona's Amy Swier, another true freshman, was the individual winner in a time of 17:28.
On the men's side, the Wildcats dethroned three-time defending champion Northern Arizona. Weber used four top ten finishes to score 39 points. NAU was second with 53, followed by Montana State with 88.
"We've had an excellent week of practice last week before the meet," WSU coach Chick Hislop said. "Aaron Taylor has made a tremendous improvement in his running from the first of the year. We stayed together as a group and raced our plan."
Aaron Taylor, a junior from West Jordan, was third overall in the 8K race in a time of 25:15. WSU teammates Jed Johansen, Nathan Kennedy and Matt Harmer finished 6-7-8, respectively.
Montana State's Miguel Galena was the individual winner at 25:09.
The victory was Weber State's sixth men's Big Sky title and the first since the 'Cats won three in a row in 1989, 1990 and 1991.
