MARYVILLE, Mo.-Northwest Missouri State junior Angela Adams won the Bearcat Open five-kilometer race with a course-record time of 18:26.7 Saturday on the Bearcat Cross Country Course.

Adams led five Northwest runners who placed in the top seven. The Bearcats' team score of 23 was 12 better than second-place William Jewell. Peru State placed third with 82 points. Northwest is the 22nd-ranked team in Division II.
