KU's women's team gathered in a pre-race huddle at the Bob Timmons Invitational Cross Country Meet at Rim Rock Farm Saturday morning.

At the gun, the women sprinted away from the starting line.

The KU women raced up the starting hill on their way to the team title.

A large pack of KU runners led by Laura Major helped KU's bid for the team title.

Connie Abbott was the women's top finisher in seventh place.

Laura Major and Dena Seibel headed to the finish line.

Distance coach Doug Clark shook hands with Patrick McGowan and the other Jayhawks prior to the men's start.

The men started on their 8K journey that ended with a KU team victory.

Eventual winner, Colby Wissel led a tight pack of KU runners through the woods north of Lawrence.

Coach Stanley Redwine encouraged Tyler Kelly and Eric Sloan as they neared the four-mile mark. Kelly and Sloan finished second and third.

Only a statue was close to Colby Wissel as he dominated the race with a time of 25:33.57.

Joshy Madathil hit the finish line in fifth place for KU.
