Colorado’s Goucher Wins Title

Colorado senior Adam Goucher, runner-up as a freshman and fourth last year, took the lead in the fifth mile and turned in a 10,000-meter course record Monday to win the men’s NCAA Division I cross-country championships.

Goucher’s time of 29 minutes 26.9 seconds broke the mark of 32:40.8 set in September by Kansas’ Brian Jensen on the University of Kansas course, which had been redesigned this year. Arkansas won the team title, its ninth, with two-time defending champion Stanford second.

In the women’s 5,000, Michigan’s Katie McGregor caught Arizona’s Amy Skieresz in the last quarter-mile to win in 16:47.21. Villanova won the team title.
