IOWA CITY--Alicia Anderson (#225/Paul Merca photo) of Gonzaga finished third in the premier section of the mile as the Zag women's squad finished their visit to the Larry Wieczorek Invitational hosted by the University of Iowa.

Anderson was the second collegian across the line, stopping the clock in 4;48.02, behind Wisconsin's Lucinda Crouch, who ran 4:44.72.

At both this meet and the Cougar Classic in Spokane last week, Anderson has run the third- and second-fastest indoor miles in Gonzaga school history.

Olympic Trials steeplechase qualifier Alex Wilson won in a facility record 4:35.48.

Alyssa Bienfang took second place with a time of 2:17.08, good for the third-fastest indoor 800 in program history a week after running the sixth-fastest (2:18.21) at The Podium last Saturday.

Freshman Ellie Armbruster claimed a program record in the Premier 600 for the Bulldogs, finishing in 1:37.05 to take tenth overall.
