Fayetteville, Ark - Fueled by All-America efforts by Arianna Lambie in the mile and 3,000 meters, the Stanford women's track & field team captured second place on Saturday night at the 2006 NCAA Division I Women's Indoor Track & Field Championship at the Tyson Indoor Track Complex at the University of Arkansas.
Lambie finished third in the 3000 meters (9:11.40) and fourth in the mile (4:41.71) to give Stanford ten points in the team race. The Cardinal finished with 36 points to finish behind national champion Texas with 51 points. On Friday, Lambie gained her first of three All-American honors during the two day meet when she ran the anchor leg on the distance medley relay team which finished second. During the two day competition, Lambie helped account for 18 of Stanford's 36 team points.
Lambie has now won nine All-American honors in two-plus seasons on The Farm in indoor and outdoor track, and in cross country.
