RESULTS
SEATTLE — In the first conference title race of the NCAA Division I Era, California Baptist University finished fifth in the Western Athletic Conference Championship meet at the Jefferson Park Golf Course on Saturday.
Â
CBU took fifth place with 106 team points, while Utah Valley claimed the team title with 30 points. The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (72 points), Seattle U (88) and defending WAC champion Kansas City (94 points) took second through fourth place, respectively.
As he has the entire season, Simon Bedard led the Lancers with a time of 25 minutes flat, just missing out on All-WAC honors by one spot after taking 15th. Jayden Emerson was right on his tail to wrap up his CBU cross country career, setting a personal best with a time of 25:2.8 to take 16th.
McMarshall Hartzenburg (25:09.1) and Dennis Messmer (25:09.7) both landed in the top-25 at 23rd and 25th place, respectively, while William Ernst (25:13.3) rounded out the CBU scoring five with a 27th place finish. Hector Peralta (25:30.0, 35th) and Cody Beeson (25:44.3, 44th) wrapped up the Lancers' debut at the WAC Championships, with Beeson setting a new personal best to end his freshman season.
The Lancers will look to build on their inaugural Division I season next year after a successful season with four top-five team finishes, including a win at the UCR Highlander Invitational.
