WEATHERFORD, Okla. – Bulldog Cross Country claimed its second event win in NCAA history on Saturday morning, winning the SWOSU Open for the second-consecutive year.

SWOSU finished with a team score of 26 points, beating three Great American Conference foes in Oklahoma Baptist, Southern Nazarene and Northwestern and one NAIA opponent Science & Arts (USAO). OBU collected 56 points, followed by Southern Nazarene's 63, Northwestern's 83 and USAO with 137.

The Dawgs had five runners place in the top-10 including Dani Whiting and Olivia Brookshire who crossed the line second and third overall with times of 20:08 and 20:22.

Spots six through eight were also controlled by the team and separated by just seven seconds with Mikayla Howorka (6th, 20:52), Alexis Davis (7th, 20:56), and Jasmyne Roush (8th, 20:59).

Other finishers for SWOSU:

Stephanie Buehler- 12th, 21:45

Eliza Cummins- 13th, 21:48

"Everyone ran well today, with season bests by each athlete," Head Coach Shane Brookshire said about the race. "It's a good sign that training is going well when all of your runners improve their marks on a challenging course even with less competition."

The Bulldogs will take two weekends off before going to Fayettville, Arkansas to run in the Chile Pepper Festival on September 30 hosted by Arkansas University.
