Lainie Sleichter concluded the Barton participants maneuvering around the 5K course in 26:21.9 finishing 34th quickest.
Claiming the team title was host Fort Hays State University with a score of 17 points edging out Jayhawk Conference foes Garden City Community College's runner-up 59 points and Dodge City Community College's third best 64 point total.
Defending her individual title from a season ago, Jaycee Vath of Fort Hays State University paced the field in 18:17.0, edging out teammates Emma Weiner's runner-up time 18:19.7 and Taylor Hoskinson's third quickest 18:33.8.
