SPOKANE, Wash. – The Seattle University Redhawks shined in the relays at the 2025 WAC Indoor Championships, setting a new all-time distance medley relay record as well as recording the second-fastest men's and third-fastest women's 4x400 relay times.
Individually, Alisha Saucedo, Alex Jensen, Zoe Tibbo, Manthita Wague, and Sean Ellison all put new results in Seattle U's all-time top tens. Saucedo and Lilianne Hargreaves each made the WAC finals as well, with Saucedo doing so in the 800m and Hargreaves doing so in the mile. Each finished fifth in the WAC in their respective event.
In addition to the program records, Hargreaves (mile), Saucedo (800m), Jensen (800m), Osaze Williams (800m), and Azalea Groleau (3000m) all earned All-WAC Second Team for their performances.
The Redhawks broke the all-time program record in the distance medley relay, doing so for the third consecutive year. The team of McKenna White, Taylor Marks, Annabelle Clapp, and Groleau ran a 11:52.39 to finish second in the WAC and shave two and a half seconds off Seattle U's program record.
Groleau, Marks, and White had all been a part of SU's previous program record, set last season. White and Clapp were part of the team, along with Alisha Saucedo and Diana Camargo Solis, who ran the then-third fastest distance medley relay in SU history earlier this season. Marks and Groleau are now part of the first, second, and third fastest distance medley relays in SU history.
In the 4x400, the team of Matthew Fiso, Williams, Seku Sanders and Jensen ran a 3:19.69. That time was good for second in SU history and less than a second off the all-time program record, set in 2013. For the women, it was Marks, Clapp, Mia Talarico, and Kristina Shkalenkova who recorded Seattle U's first 4x400 relay under four minutes since 2020. That team ran a 3:59.82, the third-fastest in SU history.
Saucedo, who was already third in SU history in the 800m, improved on her personal best, finishing third in the prelims with a 2:12.06. In the finals, Saucedo would take fifth. Jensen also improved his own record-book standing in the 800m: previously fourth, he passed Nathan Pixler for third with a 1:51.73. Pixler had held the all-time SU 800m record until last week, when Osaze Williams and Seku Sanders each broke the program record.
The triple jump saw both Tibbo and Wague move up in the indoor record books. Tibbo moved from seventh to fourth all-time with a new indoor personal-best of 11.38m, passing Katie Fleming (11.33m, 2016). Wague remained in third in Seattle U's all-time standings but set a new indoor personal best by .31m, jumping 11.59m.
Ellison moved to ninth in SU history in the long jump with a 6.35m jump, passing Matthew Crumedy in the record books. Zamora moved from ninth to seventh in SU's top-ten times in the 60m, running a 7.04 to pass Dominic Jacobs.
The outdoor season starts up on March 8 as the Redhawks compete in the PLU Open in Tacoma, Washington.
