Provo, Utah - The University of Utah women's cross country "B" team wrapped up competition at the BYU Invitational with 72 points to finish third-place overall.

With six of the Utah's top runners resting for the week,freshman Nikki Rietz led the way for the team with her 11th-place finish. Rietz had a slow start and was around the 40th position at the beginning of the race. As the race continued, Reitz fought her way back toward the front and finished with a time of 18:53.
Finishing second for the Utes and 22nd overall was freshman Macee Nielson with a time of 19:22.2.
Rounding out the scoring runners for the Utes were Katelyn Stringfellow (20:03.6), Nikki Dotter (20:04.6), and Alexis Davis (21:09.5) who finished 36th, 37th, and 40th, respectively for the Utes.
The overall team winner was BYU with 30 points, followed by Idaho State with 32 points.
