FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Stephanie Webb had the best finish for the third consecutive week, finishing 41st with a 23:10 in her first 6,000-meter race to lead the University of Oklahoma in the ninth annual Arkansas Chile Pepper Invitational. The OU women finished 16th in the 25-team field. Complete results for the men's portion of the invitational were not released on Saturday. An OU update will be done once results are received.

Abilene Christian won the university men's division with 40 points, edging host Arkansas by three points, and Arkansas took the women's title with 42 points.

The Sooner women welcomed back senior Corrie Hussar who had missed two meets while recovering from pneumonia. Hussar finished in the top half of the field with a time 23:54. For the OU runners, all times posted were career bests because this is the first year for NCAA Division I women to have a 6K event.

Other Sooner women finishers included Aisha Stringer (23:54-75th), Corrie Hussar (23:54-76th), 88. Sinead Holt (24:10-88th), Amanda Luksetich (24:35-98th), Alaina Dearman, (24:45-107th), Abby Nutter (25:33-126th), and Kim Thomas (25:54-144th).

The Sooners will take the upcoming weekend off from competition. OU will return to competition on Oct. 28 with a trip to the Boulder, Colo., for the Big 12 Championship.
