A gloomy and drizzly morning didn’t hurt the intense Cottonwood Creek Golf Course atmosphere as Baylor opened up their postseason in the Big 12 Cross Country Championship with the men’s and women’s team both placing 13th. BYU took first place in both men’s 8k and the women’s 6k races.

As the story has often gone during the season for the Bears, it was the hometown freshman Jack Sterrett and Eldoret, Kenya freshman Ruth Kimeli, who had top finishes for the green and gold.

After setting a personal best in her last meet, Kimeli led the Bears with a 26th place finish with a time of 20:24.
