The No. 2-ranked BYU Cougars executed a stunning perfect score to win the West Coast Conference Championships on Friday in Oakland, California.
Just as the team has done all season long, BYU ran as an impenetrable pack throughout the race to claim the top five finishing spots for a 15-point score. Led by an individual title from Connor McMillan, the score was rounded out by Daniel Carney (second), Casey Clinger (third), Rory Linkletter (fourth), and Clayton Young (fifth).
According to the USTFCCCA, BYU broke its own meet scoring record with the perfect score. The Cougars earned 17 points in 2015.
McMillan's victory is representative of the interchangeable parts that make up the Cougar squad. BYU has been led with an individual title by a different runner for every meet this season. Young led at the Bill Dellinger Invitational, Linkletter won the Pre-National Invitational, and McMillan just earned his first meet victory of the season.
Behind BYU, No. 3-ranked Portland finished second with 58 points and San Francisco was third with 75.
In the women's race, No. 4 San Francisco scored a low 20 points to beat runner-up BYU. Led by a blazing fast individual victory by NCAA 10K champion Charlotte Taylor, the Dons scored all five runners within the top nine.
Taylor finished 20 seconds ahead of her teammates with a winning time of 19:10. Taylor, Weronika Pyzik (second), Isabelle Brauer (third), Marie Bouchard (fifth), and Elizabeth Bird (ninth) claimed five of the top nine finishes.
