RENO, Nev. (UNLVRebels.com) - The UNLV cross country team finished 10th overall with a team score of 299 points at the 2015 Mountain West Championships Friday morning at the Montrêux Golf and Country Club. Sara Williams was the first Rebel to cross the finish line in a time of 25:16.48, and in 46th place.

"We gave what we had today," said cross country head coach Jebreh Harris. "Sara Williams ran tough as always and was out top finisher. Unfortunately, Spencer is under the weather at the moment and she did the best she could today. The team went into the race with the right mindset and we were ready to race. The truth of the matter of racing at altitude and at a very tough course played a factor. Regardless of placing at the meet, we gave what we had for the day. We are in good fitness and the season is not over. We have West Regionals in two weeks in Seattle to gear up for."
