RIVERSIDE, Calif. — The University of Colorado women's cross country team defended its Pac-12 Championship here Friday morning, defeating Utah in a tiebreaker behind Bailey Hertenstein's individual Championship.
The CU women picked up their sixth Pac-12 title in program history with 66 points, tying No.10-ranked Utah and defeating No.9-ranked Stanford in the upset. The women won based on the NCAA tiebreaker, picking up four individual runners ahead of Utah's comparable runners.
"I don't know that we've ever won an important race on a tied score and a tiebreaker in all my time at Colorado," said head coach Mark Wetmore.
