ABILENE -- Amos Sang cruised to a 50-second victory Saturday morning in the individual race at the Naimadu Pre-Regional cross country meet, but his first-place finish wasn't enough to give No. 5 ACU the team victory at Nelson Park.

The Texans scored 33 points to 42 for second-place ACU. West Texas A&M was third with Dallas Baptist finishing fourth with 71 points.
Sang covered the four-mile course in 18:58.25 with teammate Colby Delbene finishing second in 19:48.16.

After Sang and Delbene in the top two spots, ACU's next-best finisher was Daniel Maina, who was eighth, covering the course in 20:29.53. ACU -- which ran without Cleophas Tanui, who was ill -- saw Will Pike finish 14th in 20:55.48, while Jake Schofield finished 17th in 21:14.96.
On the women's side, Dallas Baptist took the team title with 18 points with the five Lady Patriot runners finishing first, second, fourth, fifth and sixth, respectively.
