RESULTS
 
(SAN MARCOS, Calif.) PLNU Women's Cross Country placed fourth out of 10 teams at the Cougar Challenge on Saturday morning in the sweltering San Marcos heat.
 
With the race moved up to an 8:15 a.m. start time because of an extreme heat warning in San Diego, Point Loma still placed six runners in the top-50, as the Sea Lions posted their highest team finish of the season.
