GRESHAM, Ore. -- Freshman Shannon Bell posted the highest regional finish ever for a Santa Clara University women's cross country runner as the Bronco women recorded a program-best 13th-place at the NCAA West Regionals Saturday at Blue Lake Park.

The Bronco men, competing without the services of Ricky Brackett or Taylor Graham, finished 22nd overall. Senior Benjamin Gauen ran his final race as a Bronco, leading the squad with an 89th place finish and a 10,000-meter time of 32:04.

Stanford University decisively won both the men's and women's titles, taking five of the top six spots in the men's race to defeat second-place Cal Poly by a 92-point margin of victory. WCC champion Portland finished sixth in the men's race.

Bell, the younger sister of teammate Robin Bell, covered the 6,000-meter course in a time of 21:32 to finish in 32nd place overall. She finished just :04 seconds behind Portland's Ashlee Vincent, the West Coast Conference runner-up two weeks ago, while the Broncos battled to just one place behind the WCC champion Pilots in the team standings. WCC individual champion Tiffany Marley of San Diego finished in 52nd place.

Junior Katie Hansen was the Broncos' second scorer, finishing the race in 56th-place with a time of 22:10.

Individually behind Gauen on the men's side was sophomore John Hinman, who finished the race in 108th, in a time of 32:34.
