COLORADO SPRINGS -- With day three of the 2002 MWC Outdoor Track & Field Championships in the book, and just one remaining, the BYU women's track & field team is well on its way to a 20th straight outdoor conference title, while the men's team is poised to overtake Colorado State for its fifth straight outdoor league title.

With 15 events remaining in the women's compeition, the Cougars own a commanding lead with 75 points, followed by Utah with 39. Colorado State is currently in third place with 37 points, New Mexico in fourth with 27 points, Wyoming in fifth with 20 points, San Diego State in sixth with 14 points, Air Force in seventh with 12 points and UNLV rounds out the field with 10 points.

"It's fun being in the lead," BYU head women's coach Craig Poole said. "Everyone has done what they were supposed to do. We're sitting in a good position to score more points tomorrow."

In the men's competition, Colorado State is currently in first place with 70 points, followed by Air Force with 58 points. The Cougars are in third place with 54 points, New Mexico is in fourth place with 42 points, Wyoming is in fifth place with 37 points, and Utah is in sixth place with 11 points.

"After the lesson we learned at the indoor championships this year, we can't take anything for granted," BYU head men's coach Mark Robison said. "I thought we had some terrific performances today, but we're going to have to be sharp on Saturday. I like the fact we should be able to score points in 13 of the 14 events on Saturday, but we just have to stay focused."

COLORADO SPRINGS -- Trailing by 16 points entering the final day of competition at the 2002 Mountain West Conference Track & Field Championships, the BYU men's track & field team racked up 89 points on the final day of competition to claim its 19th overall outdoor league title, including its fifth straight league outdoor championship. The BYU women, who held a 36-point lead entering the final day, cruised to a record 20th straight outdoor league title with 193.5 points.

"It's a new experience every year," BYU head women's coach Craig Poole said. "It really is. We never get tired of winning. We're just as thrilled about winning our twentieth as we were with winning our first. It never gets old. We've had a lot of great student-athletes come through our program over the years, and this year has been no exception."

BYU won the women's competition in dominating fashion 193.5 points, followed by Colorado State with 147.3 points. San Diego State finished third with 119.3 points, UNLV was fourth with 98 points, Wyoming finished fifth with 95 points, Utah scored 75.3 to finish sixth and New Mexico took seventh with 57.5 points. Air Force finished in eighth place with 32 points.

Individual winners for the Cougar women include Jaime Cottle (1,500), Michaela Mannova (3,000-meter steeplechase), Nikki Hughes (long jump), Lindsey Steele (high jump) and Lindsey Johnson (javelin).

Poole was named the MWC Women's Coach of the Year, while senior Nikki Hughes earned top-scoring honors with 32.5 points and was voted as one of three outstanding performers in the meet.

On the men's side, the Cougars racked up 228 points to claim the outdoor title over Colorado State, which won the indoor title earlier this year. The Rams finished in second with 179 points, followed by Air Force with 148.5 points. New Mexico finished fourth with 125.5 points, followed by Wyoming in fifth with 88 points. Utah rounded out the standings with 33 total points.

"To win this thing is really satisfying," BYU men's coach Mark Robison said. "I felt we were under some pressure after losing the indoor championship. With that kind of pressure, you're never sure how the kids will respond. It was a great team effort. Everyone worked hard and it paid off."

David Pendergrass was voted as the top freshman of the year after winning the high jump and finishing sixth in the triple jump.

Individual winners for the men include: David Pendergrass (high jump), Aron Szmuda (long jump), Daniel Arrhenius (discus), Matt Nielsen, Mao Tjiroze, Kish Beverly and Jeremy Stowell (4x400-meter relay).
