Alumni Classic Shows a Strong Team

PROVO -- The men and women's cross country teams showed depth at the BYU Alumni Classic held Saturday evening in Provo. UVSC runners, BYU alumni and others from the community joined this year's BYU cross country teams in the women's 5K race and the men's four-mile race.

Kip Kangogo led the men with a finish of 20:06. He was closely followed by junior Steve Barrus at 20:21, and seven other Cougars finished in the top ten.

"Kip showed today he will be one of the best guys in the nation," said the men's Head Coach Ed Eyestone. "Other guys aren't far behind either, and that's what we're looking for."

Even though the top runners on BYU's women's team did not run, the Cougars still dominated the 5K race. The top eight finishers were from BYU, with Katie Moon leading the pack at 16:36 and Anika Smith and Ann Heiner close behind.

The next cross country meet is the BYU Autumn Classic and take place Saturday in Provo.
