STILLWATER, Okla. - For the second straight year the University of Colorado men's and women's cross country teams each recorded a pair of runner-up finishes at the Big 12 Championship on Saturday morning at the OSU Cross Country Course.

Sophomore Laura Tremblay led the women with a fourth-place finish and junior Andy Wacker recorded a fifth-place finish to lead the men.

The No. 7 ranked women's team recorded 53 points in the race and were just nine points out of first as the No. 4 Texas Tech Red Raiders scored 44 points. The No. 9 men's team put together a score of 46 points behind Oklahoma State's 19. OSU went 1-2-3-4-9 to win the race. The men soundly defeated No. 5 Oklahoma by 15 points as the Sooners recorded 61 points.  

Colorado coach Mark Wetmore was pleased with the outcome of both of the races by the Buffs.

"The women gave Texas Tech a really close run and when we finally analyzed the results, it was a very close race," Wetmore explained. "The men outran Oklahoma, a team that beat them pretty well two weeks ago. They rose up and did what we try to do when we come here, which is to win this thing."
