The Cougars also placed three runners in the top-10 of the 1500m: Carmen Alder (4:17.80), Kate Hunter (4:21.34) and Heather Hanson (4:22.24).

BYU will continue competition at the Relays on Friday, with Lauren Ellsworth-Barnes, Alena Ellsworth, Claire Seymour and Courtney Wayment set to race in the distance medley relay at 1:45 p.m. EDT.
