LONG BEACH, Calif. - The UNLV track and field team continued its spring training this weekend at the Long Beach Invitational on Saturday.

Katie Barto won the 3,000 meters for the second straight week. After winning the event at home in the UNLV Invitational on April 8, Barto trimmed another seven seconds off her season best to win the event in 10:02.58.
