STILLWATER, Okla. (Oct. 3) -- Evelyn Berko paced Central Oklahoma to a 12th place finish in the rugged Cowboy Jamboree here Saturday morning.

The Bronchos, who were without injured standout Alina Istrate, finished with 271 points in the 26-team college/junior college portion of the event.

Berko, UCO's lone senior and a three-time All-Lone Star Conference selection, toured the five-kilometer course in 19:47.40 to come in 23rd in the 199-runner field.

The Bronchos also got a 55th-place finish from Angelica Martinez (20:31.70), while Cara Cox (20:49.80) came in 66th and Julia Crocker (20:54.00) 71st.  Rounding out the UCO team were Hannah Pempsell (21:10.80), Angel Vick (21:11.90) and Iasha Keller (22:39.50).

"Evelyn ran a good race and we did okay considering we didn't have Alina and several of the other girls have some nagging injuries," UCO coach J.D. Martin said.  "Hopefully we can get everybody healthy this week."

The Bronchos are slated to end the regular season schedule Saturday at the Bison Invitational in Shawnee and then take a week off befor going to the Lone Star Conference Championships Oct. 24 in Canyon, Texas.
