The BYU men's and women's track teams won 11 events during the final day of competition at the BYU Indoor Invitational on Friday, including sweeps in the men's 800- and 3,000-meter races.

Senior Lars Kjerengtroen led the Cougars in the 800 with a time of one minute, 51.70 seconds and was quickly followed by three other Cougars — Jason Dorais, Kansas Whitear and all-American Nathan Robison, who clocked in at 1:56.62.

BYU men's track coach Mark Robison said he was pleased with his team's performances.

"I'm excited about where we are as a team," he said. "We're right where we should be. We performed how I thought we would."

The women's team won six events Friday, including two by Amy Menlove a day after she won the pentathlon. Menlove won the long jump with a distance of 20-6.25. She also won the 60-meter hurdles.
