SPRINGFIELD, Ore. - Long Beach State junior Rosa Del Toro and sophomore Brett Hasvold led the 49er cross country teams on Saturday morning at the NCAA West Regional in Springfield, Ore., as the men's team finished in 10th place with 280 points and the women's squad placed 11th, recording 313 points.
The women's team finish was third among schools from the Big West Conference, finishing one point behind UCLA (10th) and 10 points behind Portland (9th). The women finished ahead of 19 other universities from the region, including Arizona State and Oregon State from the Pacific-10 Conference.

Her time passed Meredith Kramon's time of 20:52 set in 2007 at the NCAA West Regional at the Stanford Golf Course.
