Tuesday, Nov. 21, 2000 | 10:16 a.m.

UNLV senior cross country star Katie Barto finished 74th of 255 individuals at the NCAA Women's Cross Country Championships Monday in Ames, Iowa.

Barto, a native of Henderson, became just the second athlete to represent UNLV at the cross country national finals. Despite freezing temperatures, she clocked 21:47.0 over the 6-kilometer course to claim 74th place, the best-ever finish by a Rebel at the championships.

In their only other appearance, the Rebels were represented by Angie Fortner in 1998, who finished 136th.
