win first place five times

Hi everyone.

I am not sure whether the following sentences are correct or not

They were first in the competition five times.
They won five times first place in the competition.

Are the next sentences correct?
How else can I rephrase the sentence?

Thank you all in advance.
  

Top answer

They won five times first place in the competition. The first is fine. In the second, 'five time' needs to come after 'first place' or at the end.
