SAN DIEGO - San Diego State senior co-captain Kristin Glen led the Aztecs for a fourth straight meet on Saturday morning at the Mountain West Conference Cross Country Championships at Mission Bay Park. Sara Beyers and Sara Cunningham established new personal bests at the meet, while Glen and Michelle Martinez narrowly missed setting new personal records on a perfect San Diego morning.
Glen, competing in San Diego for the last time as a collegian, crossed the finish line in 23 minutes, 23 seconds. Her effort was three seconds short of tying her season best and ended the race nine spots ahead of Martinez. The sophomore from Burbank, Calif., just missed matching her season best by seven seconds with a time of 23:52.
Junior Darien Buc clocked in 10 seconds behind Martinez at 24:02 to log her second-best 6K of 2008, while Beyers established a personal record by navigating the course in 24:04. Cunningham followed Beyers' lead by setting her own PR of 24:19, a mark that was 2.1 seconds better than her previous lifetime best.
Rounding out the SDSU contingent were junior Rachel Williams (24:37), senior co-captain Anne Vieira (25:13), sophomore Andrea Norton (25:27) and senior Kelley Oelschlager (26:21). As a team, San Diego State finished in ninth place with 239 points.
