Cougars Poised to Defend Outdoor Titles
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."
