Mountain West Conference Recap
The Cougar men lived up to their long-upheld reputation by sealing their seventh consecutive MWC Outdoor Championships win in as many years. The team finished with 248 points, 70 more than second place Colorado State, and earned one relay and eight individual titles. Chris Carter was named MWC Freshman of the Year and Coach Mark Robison received the Men's Coach of the Year honors.
The Cougar women won five individual titles and scored 183 points over Colorado State's 150.50 to win the women's title. The win was their sixth in seven years. Bound For Region Championships Athletes from 34 teams will visit Provo for region competition. Twenty-eight men and 16 women have qualified from BYU for the Championships. Excluding the 10,000 meters and multi-events (which will not be competed in at Regionals), any athlete hoping to qualify for the national championships must do so at Regionals.
