PALO ALTO, Calif. - The San Diego State women's cross country team finished 16th in a 25 team field at Saturday's Stanford Invitational held at the Stanford Golf Course. The event, which marked the first time this season the Aztecs have run on a 6,000-meter course, served as a tune up as the team prepares for the second half of its season.
Leading the way for the Atecs was Jennifer Stakiw, who crossed the finish line at 22:53 and in 53rd place. She was followed closely by Alica Stewart's 56th-place time of 22:56.
SDSU finished with 447 points and a space behind CSU Fullerton (425). Stanford took the meet's top spot with 24 points after having five runners finish in the top ten.
