March 29, 2008 Mountain View Collegiate Standings (PDF) TUCSON, Ariz. -- Senior Katie Trachok (Pittsburgh, Pa./Upper St. Clair) shot a 75-76 through the first two rounds to lead a balanced Northwestern effort as the Wildcats sit in a 12th-place tie at the 10th annual Mountain View Collegiate in Tucson, Ariz. The Wildcats begin the final round tied with Kansas State at 605, and sit just 16 strokes back of first place Indiana and Oklahoma.
