Palo Alto, Calif. – The Highlanders' distance runners represented UC Riverside Track and Field at the Stanford Invitational on Friday.
Senior Weslie Pearce took second out of ten runners in her Women's 3000m Steeplechase heat with a time of 10:29.50. That was less than six seconds shy of her program record, set last year.
Finishing with the Highlanders' fastest 1500m Run time of the season was senior Faith Makau, whose mark of 4:30.00 bested her previous season-best of 4:34.94, set at the UCSB/Cal Poly Meet earlier this month.
In her outdoor season debut, junior Emily Sanchez finished in 14th out of 21 contestants in the Women's 5000m Run, recording a time of 17:30.85.
Tomorrow, Makau will return to action in the 800m at the Sacramento State Mondo Team Challenge along with the majority of the Highlanders' forces.
