Palo Alto, Calif. -

Top freshmen Jamillah Titus and Christal Cuadra stepped up to lead the San Diego State women's cross country squad to an 18th-place finish at the NCAA West Regional meet at Stanford University Saturday morning.

Titus finished 71st out of the 189 runners with a time of 23:31. Cuadra came in at 23:49 to finish 85th overall. Seniors Alicia Stewart and Kylie Edwards finished 87th and 103rd, respectively, while sophomore Tina Fodor rounded out the Aztec finishers with a time of 24:58.

"We did okay," said Jennifer Nanista, assistant coach. "The course was a bit longer this time. They made some adjustments to it. But Jamillah (Titus) and Christal (Cuadra) ran very well."

Senior captain Jennifer Stakiw, who appeared to be on her way to a top-20 finish, did not finish the race.

Stanford won the meet with 24 points, while four other Pac-10 schools rounded out the top five. SDSU finished ahead of names like Eastern Washington, Arizona, San Diego and Pepperdine.
