BYU women's cross country showed out on top at the Bill Dellinger Invitational Saturday in Springfield, Ore, earning the program's first such victory since 2019.
With 42 points, the No. 6 Cougars took first place, surpassing No. 7 Oregon who finished with 78 points.
Three Cougars placed in the day's top 10 performers. BYU sophomore Lexy Halladay-Lowry finished first for BYU and placed fourth overall at 20:01.5. BYU senior Aubrey Frentheway placed fifth right after Halladay-Lowry at 20:05.6. Coming in eighth, BYU freshman Jenna Hutchins finished third out of the Cougars with a 20:18.5 personal-best 6,000-meter time.
BYU runners Jacey Harkins-Farmer, Anastaysia Davis, Sadie Sargent and Destiny Everett packed tightly and all finished within a split second of each other after Harkins.
For Everett, Allie Warner, Raygan Peterson, Vanessa Alder and Grace Hutchinson, this invitational was their 6,000-meter course debut.
The Cougars are full of promise as they prepare for their first ever Big 12 championship bid in late October.
