The BYU men’s track and field team won its second consecutive Western Athletic Conference Championship in Fort Collins Colo. May 22.
The Cougars never trailed any of the other 10 WAC schools in the four day event. In fact the Cougars were so dominate and well rounded they only failed to score points for the team in two of the 21 events.
The two events were the 400-meter dash and the Javelin throw.
