FRESNO, CALIF.<\/strong> \u2013 San Diego State Cross Country traveled to Fresno, California to compete in the program\u2019s final Mountain West Championship meet at the famous Woodward Park. Seven athletes represented the Aztecs en route to a seventh-place finish, tied for the program\u2019s best finish since 2005.<\/p>\n

Leading the Aztecs was Emily Van Valkenburg<\/a> who finished the six-kilometer course with a final time of 21:20.5. This was Van Valkenburg\u2019s second time this season finishing as the Aztec\u2019s top performer. Fellow upperclassmen Samantha Wood<\/a> was the second member of San Diego State\u2019s team to cross the finish line in 21:34.5.<\/p>\n

The trio of Emilia Greenway<\/a>, Vanessa Cabello<\/a> and Sara Jones<\/a> finished 58th, 59th and 60th with all three crossing the finish line within three seconds of each other. Greenway\u2019s time of 21:52.6 had her not only as the third Aztec to finish but also served as the fastest time amongst San Diego State\u2019s newcomers. Vanessa Cabello<\/a> returned to the team\u2019s lineup after missing most of the season due to injury. Jones 21:55.8 time set a new personal best for the sophomore as well.<\/p>\n

Rounding out the remaining Aztecs was the pair of Rebekah Niednagel<\/a> and Emily Russo<\/a>. Niednagel posted a final time of 22:14.5 while freshman Emily Russo<\/a> was the final member of the scoring lineup running 22:26.0<\/p>\n

The Aztecs totaled 222 points, good for the second-best total since the 2012 conference championship meet. San Diego State will now turn their attention to the NCAA West Regionals. The six-kilometer race will take place Nov. 14 in Sacramento, Calif. at the Haggins Oaks Golf Club hosted by Sacramento State this year.<\/p>\n
