ARLINGTON, Texas – Seattle University track and field wrapped up its final Western Athletic Conference Outdoor Championship with six All-WAC finishes and one new school record following three days of competition in Maverick Stadium on the campus of UT Arlington.
Senior Lilianne Hargreaves, a Redmond, Wash., native, capped her collegiate career on a high note Sunday afternoon, taking bronze in the 1,500m, good for First Team All-WAC honors. She then closed out the meet anchored the women's 4x400m relay to a school record, 3:52.14 finish.
Hargreaves was the third leg of a quartet that also included Annabelle Clapp, Kristina Shkalenkova and anchor Taylor Marks. The Redhawks broke the old record of 3:53.42 that was set at the 2022 WAC Championships by Marks, Ellie Postma, Tricht Jocelyn and Maya McCabe.
Also entering the Redhawk record book was sophomore Rock Gignac, who scored 4,569 points in the decathlon, good for the fourth most points scored in the event in Seattle U history. Gignac's total was good for eighth place at the championship meet, earning him Second Team All-WAC honors.
In addition to Gignac's entry into the school's all-time top-10, Marks' PR of 57.46 in the 400m was good for fourth best all-time, Zoe Tibbo's PR of 5.67m in the long jump is good for third best all-time and the men's 4x400m relay turned in the seventh best time in program history (3:20.92). The relay team was comprised of Matthew Fiso, Ozase Demund, Seku Sanders and Alex Jensen.
Seattle U's four remaining Second Team All-WAC finishes were all in the triple jump events. On the men's side, Fiso, a freshman, took sixth with a best mark of 14.21m. Sophomore JR Zamora joined Fiso on the podium with an eighth-place finish and a best mark of 13.54m.
In the women's triple jump, sophomore Manthita Wague had a best mark of 11.84m to place sixth. Junior Zoe Tibbo had a best mark of 11.40m to place eighth overall.
