Season Outlook
With the season upon them, the women’s cross
country team is looking to add to the tradition built by the dominant teams before them.
This tradition of BYU women’s cross country
has won 17 conference titles in a row and
competed in 16 consecutive national championship meets.
Last season the team was faced with several
challenges including losing their No. 1 runner,
Kassi Anderson, after being hit by a vehicle
while training. Despite the setback the team
pulled off an eighth place finish at nationals.
This season the Cougars will be striving to
continue on the path of dominance and plan
on another solid season among the nation’s
best teams.
“We are just working towards doing what
we’ve always done,” coach Patrick Shane said.
“The program has a tradition of winning the
conference championship and a tradition of
going to the national championship and doing
well. They are never taken for granted, but we
expect to do those sorts of things.”
With the experiences of last season, Shane
said it will be important for his team to stay
healthy this year, and doing this will enable
them to see how good they really can be.
One of the Cougars biggest strengths this
season will be their depth. They will start the
season with 35 girls on the roster, which is up
from last year’s 22. Shane said this with help
his team stay healthy.
“We have a large team,” he said. “So we will
divide it up into two teams, and one group will
run one week and rest the next while the other
group runs the next week and then rests.”
coach Shane. He said it was one of the best
classes in years.
Although the team’s top runner from last
season graduated, four-time All-American
Laura Turner, they are returning several girls
who competed last year, giving the team a lot
of experience.
The Cougars picked up a phenomenal runner
in Chelsea Smith-McKell. Although she is new
to the team, Shane said she is probably the
most experienced. She is a transfer from BYUHawaii where she was the NCAA Division II
national champion the last two years. She also
won the 2004 Deseret News Marathon.
The 2004 Mountain West Conference (MWC)
Freshman of the Year Heidi Magill should be
one of the top runners for the Cougars. Last
season she ran in five meets with her best
finish coming at the MWC Championship
where she placed third and earned First Team
All-MWC. She also earned honors after placing sixth at the NCAA Mountain Regional. She
is coming off an excellent track season where
she earned All-America honors.
“Heidi had a great freshman year last year,”
Shane said. “I have every expectation that she
will be an All-American in cross country. She
has the kind of talent where she could be a
top-ten finisher.”
Two-time All-American Breanne Sandberg will
be one of two runners returning to the team
after serving a mission for the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints. She last raced in
2003 when she earned First Team All-MWC,
NCAA All- Mountain honors and All-American.
Kristen Ogden, a former transfer from Ricks
JC, is the second return missionary coming
back to run for the Cougars. She last competed in 2002 when she won her last two
races, the Arizona State Invitational and the
Pre-Nationals Open Race.
“We have two return missionaries (Ogden and
Sandberg) that were great when they left on
their missions,” Shane said. “Given enough
time to get back in shape they are going to be
great again.”
Other returning runners who should have
an impact are Julie Cameron-Meads, Amber
Harper, Anne Heiner, Sarah Ingebretsen and
Carolyn Quebe.
“We have a strong nucleus of returning runners
from last year,” Shane said.
The 2005 recruiting class should also make a
great contribution for the team according to
In addition there are some freshmen that
Shane said he thinks might be some of his top
runners this year. A few that stand out are Amy
Fowler, Jocelyn Gardner, Sarah Hansen and
Aubrey White.
“We got some very good distance runners,” he
said. “Some of them are kind of unknown. They
went under the radar so to speak, but I can
assure you they are talented.”
The Cougars will be hosting three meets this
season including this year’s Mountain Regional
on Nov. 12. The season begins with two home
meets, the Alumni Invitational and the Autumn
Classic. The Alumni Invitational will be on Sep.
3. On Sep. 10, the Cougars will play host at
Cascade Golf Course for the Autumn Classic.
The team then hits the road to Hawaii for the
Big Wave Invitational on Sep. 17. From there
they travel to Cary, N.C. on Sep. 24, to the
Great America Invitational. On Oct. 15 the
team will race the course where the NCAA
Championship will be, in Terre Haute, Ind., in
the Pre-Nationals Meet.
This season’s MWC Championship is on Oct.
29 in Fort Collins, Colo. The Cougars will then
play host for the NCAA Mountain Regional
Meet on November 12, and the NCAA Championship will be on Nov. 21 in Terre Haute, Ind.
“The schedule is very similar to what we have
always had,” Shane said. “It’s a good schedule.
We are looking forward to hosting the Mountain Regional. It is always fun to run at home in
a championship format.”
Shane said he feels good about this season
and is excited to see how good the team can
become. He said come November he feels the
team will represent the university and themselves quite well.

Coach Bios
PATRICK SHANE
25th SEASON • WOMEN’S HEAD COACH
The BYU women’s cross country team enters their 25th season under the realm of
Coach Patrick Shane. Since his arrival, Coach Shane has turned the team into a team
of dominance. With four NCAA National Championships and three runner-up finishes
in the past eight years, Shane has built a team that is nationally recognized as the team
to beat each year. Under the reign of Shane, the Cougars have powered their way into
the national spotlight winning back-to-back national championships in 2001 and 2002.
In his 24 seasons as coach of the Cougars, Shane has been named the National Cross
Country Coach of the Year three times, with his most recent coming in 2002. In 1997,
Shane and his team became the first BYU women’s team to win a national title. Since
then, he has guided his team to three national championships in 1999, 2000 and 2001.
With four national titles under their feet, the Cougars stand alone as the only BYU
team to have four national championships.
Since 1981, when the NCAA took over women’s athletics, Shane’s teams have missed
the national meet only twice. Throughout his coaching tenure at BYU, the women’s
team has finished in the top ten 18 times and finished 22 times in the top twenty. In
1989, the BYU women’s cross country team had a 16th-place finish in an NCAA meet,
which is the lowest finish for any of Shane’s teams.
Shane has coached six Olympic runners and 46 All-American cross country runners.
His cross country teams have captured 23 conference championships. Since joining
the Mountain West Conference in 1999, the Cougars have been the dominant team
winning the conference title every year. When Shane took the helm as BYU’s women’s
cross country coach in 1981, he took a team built from scratch and finished first at the
AIAW District VII meet. The team went on to take sixth at the AIAW National Championships. Shane’s teams have won 16 NCAA District 7 Championships.
Shane was twice named IAC Coach of the Year, HCAC Coach of the Year four times,
District VII Coach of the Year nine times, WAC Coach of the Year six times, and four
times he has been named the Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year. On top
of that, he was named the NCAA National Coach of the Year in 1997, 2000 and 2001.
Coach Shane helped develop the USATF Coaching Education Program. He was selected to be the junior women’s coach for the 1995 World Cross Country Championships in Durham, England. In 1999, Shane was chosen as the senior women’s coach for
the 1999 World Cross Country Championships in Portugal.
Shane is married to the former Kerrilyn Taylor.

2004 Season Review
The beginning of the 2004 season dealt
a card the women’s cross country team
didn’t expect. During Labor Day weekend
the Cougars’ top-returning runner and
All-American Kassi Andersen was hit by a
truck while biking. Andersen was out for
the cross country and track seasons.
At the Pre-Nationals in Terre Haute, Ind.,
the Cougars faced the other national
contenders for the first time. Once again,
Turner pounded it out for the Cougars as
she took fourth overall and helped her
team take fourth-place honors in the 6K
race.
“We struggled early in the year,” Shane
said. “But we can be grateful for a lot of
things. It’s times like these that remind you
of what you should be grateful for.”
This year marked the 17th straight conference championship for the Cougars as
they swept the Mountain West Conference
defeating Colorado State by 35 points in
San Diego, Calif. Turner finished first in the
6K race and following her in second and
third were teammates Chesser and Magill.
Turner was honored for her efforts as she
took home the MWC Women’s Athlete
of the Year award. Magill was honored as
MWC Women’s Freshman of the Year, an
award BYU has won two years in a row.
Along with the conference title, the women
placed six athletes on the All-MWC teams.
Turner, Chesser and Magill earned firstteam All-MWC honors as Amber Harper,
Jami Caldwell and Cameron earned second-team All-MWC honors.
Despite losing their top runner, the pack
held tight and finished strong. The Cougars placed first, second and eighth in the
MWC, NCAA Mt. Regional and NCAA
National Championships respectively.
BYU kicked off the season with a perfect
15 point win at the BYU Alumni Invitational.
Anne Heiner finished the 5K event first in
18:58.3.
On the following week, the Cougars looked
impressive in front of over 3,000 fans at
the BYU Autumn Classic. Coach Shane
asked the women to stay together for the
first mile at a six minute mile pace. Senior
Rena Chesser led the pack thereafter placing first in the 5K with a time of 17:55.1.

Female Athlete of the Month:
Laura Turner
Senior Laura Turner was one of four
female athletes nominated for the
2003-2004 Cross Country Honda
Sports Award.
That same week the Cougars were ranked
as the third best women’s cross country
team in division one of the NCAA.
On October 1, BYU headed east to the
Great American Festival in Charlotte, N.C.
Laura Turner made an impressive showing in her first race of the season. Turner
finished first for the Cougars and fourth
overall in the 6k event. She was named
MWC Women’s Cross Country Athlete of
the Week. Chesser had a second-place
finish for the Cougars and Freshman Heidi
Magill finished third in her first collegiate
race.
The Cougars achieved a perfect 15 points
overall at the Pre Mountain West Conference Championships, in San Diego, Calif.
Julie Cameron won the overall title as she
finished the 6K race in 23:11. Following
Cameron’s lead was Carolyn Quebe who
finished second as teammate Sara Ingebretsen took home third place honors.
Just a week later, BYU ran in the NCAA
Mt. Regionals took home second place, following 22 points behind Colorado State, in
Fort Collins, Colo. Once again, Turner led
the Cougars as she finished the 6K event
in third place overall. Following closely behind her were Magill and Chesser, rounding
out six and seventh overall. The same six
Cougars who were honored as All-MWC
honors, Turner, Magill, Chesser, Harper,
Cameron and Caldwell, each earned
NCAA Mt. Region honors.
The team returned to Terrre Haute, Ind.,
for the final meet of the year. The Cougars
took home an eighth place finish in the 6K
race. Turner, who placed fourth overall,
became the second women in BYU cross
country’s history to earn four All-American
citations. Despite the women’s eighth
place finish, Shane is proud of the way his
team handled the adversity and obstacles
that came before them early in the season.
“I’m pleased with our eighth place finish,”
Shane said. “It’s been an unusual year; it’s
been a faith builder.”
This finish gives the women 20 top ten
finishes in a national competition, seven of
which have been in the top two.

BYU’s Four-Time National Champions
For the past 24 years as BYU’s women’s cross
country coach, Patrick Shane has worked to
establish his program into one of the elite
programs in the country. With 23 conference
championships, 16 NCAA District VII championships, 18 top ten finishes and four NCAA
national championships, Coach Shane and his
runners have done just that. Only twice has
Coach Shane’s teams not been in the national
championship meet.
In the last seven years, excluding this past
season, the women’s cross country team has
finished the season either first or second in the
nation. Two years ago, the Cougars entered the
NCAA Cross Country Championships ranked
No. 1 in the nation. Despite a great effort, the
Cougars (128) finished runner-up to the Stanford Cardinal (120) by eight points. Michaela
Mannova, Kassi Anderson, Breanne Sanberg
and Laura Turner earned All-American honors.
Along with earning her third All-American
32
award, Mannova
was honored as the
MWC Women’s
Athlete of the Year.
The formula for
success can be
found within
the team. Each
individual athlete
understands and is
committed to putting the time and
effort it takes to
become the best.
Along with the
teams focus, Coach Shane’s ability to structure
their training so the entire team peaks at the
right moment is something he’s learned to
master. In fact, excluding 2004, in the last nine
years the women’s team has left the NCAA
Championships with two or more All-Ameri-
cans. In 2001, on their way to their second
straight national title, the Cougars dominated
the field by capturing the title with one of the
biggest margins of victory in the history of the
NCAA Championships, defeating N.C. State by
86 points.
