NORMAN, Okla. - Competing just a handful of athletes at the Oklahoma Sooner Indoor Invitational Saturday Baylor's track and field team still came away with an event winner at the end of the day.

Junior Jordan Lewis won the men's 600 yard race (1:12.15) edging out fellow teammate Korey Wright for the title by just .08 seconds. Sophomore Ryan Kedley and freshman Joel Gittemeir also turned in solid performances in the race finishing fourth (1:14.51) and fifth (1:14.59), respectively.

In other men's action freshman Dwight Ruff ran to a sixth place finish in his first 400-meter race of the year, clocking a time of 49.89.

The Baylor women were led by junior Stephanie Bennett who placed second in the 1000 meter run with a time of 2:56.22. Freshman Holly Moser's mark of 2:20.60 in the 800 was good enough for a fourth place showing and sophomore Tiffany Wise finished seventh in the 600 yards with a 1:25.96 clocking.

Baylor track and field returns to action next weekend in Lincoln, Neb. at the Big 12 Indoor Championships.
