RIVERSIDE, Calif. – After leading California Baptist University at the UC Riverside Invitational on Saturday, Annett Somogyi was named the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Women's Cross Country Athlete of the Week on Tuesday — the first such honor for the Lancers' cross country team in the DI era.

CBU put forth a strong effort in the 6K with the entire scoring five placing in the top-20. Somogyi finished second overall, crossing the finish line in a personal-best time of 20 minutes, 19.8 seconds. As a team, the Lancers tallied 44 points to take second behind the 10th-ranked team in the Mountain Region, Southern Utah (31 points).

The Lancers, who remained at No. 14 in the latest NCAA Division I West Region ranking, travel to Minneapolis to compete in the Roy Griak Invitational on September 29. It will give CBU some good competition as the Gophers currently sit 24^th in the latest DI poll.
