TEMPE, Arizona - Extending their winning streak, the BYU women's cross country team took first place at the Arizona State Invitational Friday night. Kristen Ogden led the Cougars in a sweep of the top five spots with a time of 17:37 on the 5K course. Amy Bair finished a close second in a sprint to the finish with Ogden.

Coach Shane said he was little surprised to sweep the top five spots. "You just don't expect that - a perfect score," he said. "There were a lot of good teams here, but most of them didn't have their top runners. But neither did we." Shane said this race will help him decide who to take to Pre-Nationals.

Both the men's and the women's teams race again Oct. 19, at Pre Nationals in Terra Haute, Ind.
