The Barton Community College women's track and field team won nine events this weekend as a final day charge came up six points short in placing runner-up at the KJCCC/Region VI Outdoor Championships hosted by Cowley College in Arkansas City, Kansas.
The Cougars reset five facility records in their two days of competition, had thirteen personal bests, and compiled twenty-four scoring performances for 172 points. Barton's total was just six shy of Cloud County Community College's 178 points and 72 points ahead of third place Butler Community College.
In addition to the team hardware, Nia Robinson was voted the Female Field Athlete of the Meet in winning two events and placing runner-up in a third event.
Barton will conclude the season next week in a three-day trip to Levelland, Texas, for the NJCAA Division I Outdoor Championships held May 11-13 hosted by South Plains College.
