Pasadena, Calif. - The top-ranked Stanford men and second-ranked women dominated the Pac-10 Championships on Saturday at the Brookside Golf Course. The men have now won the Pac-10 title for six of the last seven years, while the women have won seven straight and nine of the last 10 conference titles. The Cardinal also had both individual Pac-10 winners. Grant Robison defended his conference title by covering the 8000 meter course in 23:27, while Sara Bei won for the fourth time this season with a time of 19:48 in the women's 6000 meter race.

"The men's and women's teams were both dominant today," said Stanford director of track and field/cross country Vin Lananna. "They are good athletes that did a good job in executing a plan that set us up to win. I was thrilled with our performance, and it was a great day for the Cardinal."

The Stanford men cruised to a victory with just 19 points, finishing well ahead of second-place Oregon (51 points). Stanford runners took seven of the top nine spots, including the top three. Ian Dobson finished three seconds behind Robison in second-place with a time of 23:30, while Donald Sage (23:36) finished third. Adam Tenforde (6th, 23:51) and Neil Davis (7th, 23:58) finished the Cardinal scoring, while Ryan Hall (8th, 24:00) and Peter Meindel (9th, 24:00) had top 10 finishes. Justin Romaniuk (11th, 24:08), Robert Smitson (15th, 24:24) and Andrew Hill (32nd, 25:07) also competed for the Cardinal.

The Stanford women picked up 23 points and finished comfortably ahead of second-place Arizona State (59 points). Lauren Fleshman (19:50) raced Bei to the finish and placed second, two seconds behind her teammate. Alicia Craig (4th, 20:10) and Malindi Elmore (5th) also had top five finishes, while Erin Sullivan (11th, 21:14) completed Stanford's scoring. Jeane Goff (18th, 21:24), Katie Hotchkiss (26th, 21:31), Anita Siraki (33rd, 22:04), Kristin Cohoon (49th, 22:41) and Yfa Kretzschar (64th, 23:29) also competed for the Cardinal.

Five additional members of the Stanford men's team also competed in a combined men's (8000 meters) and women's (6000 meters) open race won by Carmen Martinez (20:43) of Track West. Evan Fox was Stanford's top finisher, placing 28th overall with a time of 24:54. Fox was followed by Sean Knapp (33rd, 25:11), Philip West (35th, 25:26), David Stillman (40th, 25:45) and Steve Loughlin (52nd, 26:31).
