TEMPE, Ariz. -- With freshman Dominique Maloy playing a key role, Arizona State University women's track and field team scored 186.5 points to claim its third title in a row while the men placed second as the 2008 Pac-10 Conference Championships came to a close here Saturday night.

The women claimed crowns in four events on that day and seven overall to become only the second women's team to win three in a row in the Pac-10, while the men won four events on the final day and six overall.

In the team race, the throws pushed the Sun Devil women out to a big lead that the team built into the second-most points scored at the Pac-10 meet and only three points off the meet record of 189.5 scored by UCLA.

Stanford was second with 117 points while Oregon (100), USC (91) and UCLA (80) rounded out the top five.

The Sun Devil men came up short to the Ducks for the second year in a row as Oregon scored 144.5 points to ASU's 134. UCLA (108), California (81.5) and Stanford (79) rounded out the top five in the men's standings.

ASU saw its competitors make history on Saturday as all four joined an elite group of double winners. On the women's side, Chardonda Williams imade an impressive debut in her first Pac-10 meet by winning both the 100- and 200-meterevents.

She won the 100 in 11.45 before running 23.09 to take the 200, the third-best time in school history. Maloy, a former Pahrump Valley High School standout, also in her first Pac-10 meet, added points in both events by placing eighth in the 100 (11.71) and second in the 200 (23.28, the sixth-best time in program history).

Williams' double marked the ninth time in Pac-10 history the sweep had been recorded and the first for a Sun Devil.

The team of Jvon Benjamin, Maloy, Shauntel Elcock and Jordan Durham won the 4x400 relay in 3:34.45.

The men's team of Marquis Profit, Justin Kremer, Darryl Elston and Joel Phillip, combined to run 3:04.75. It was the second crown of the day for Elston, who just 25 minutes prior to the relay won the 200 with a time of 20.91.

The Sun Devils will take a weekend off from competition before heading to Northridge, Calif., on May 30-31 for the NCAA West Region Championships.
