SAN FRANCISCO — PR’s fell all across the west coast for the Seattle U track and field team.
In a split-squad weekend, the Redhawks competed in both the Mike Fanelli Track Classic in San Francisco, and the Whitworth Peace Meet in Spokane, Wash.
In San Francisco, there were some new additions to Seattle U’s all-time top-10 list.
Dan Barreto recorded a personal-best 9:47.16 steeplechase time, the 10th-best in school history. He’s the third active Redhawk in the men’s steeplechase top-10, joining Jeremy Posdon (9:39.86) and Porter Buck (9:41.79).
On the women’s side, Annabelle Clapp ran a personal-best 4:37.13 in the 1500m, the 10th-best in school history. Clapp also ran a personal-best of 57.71 in the 400m, finishing with the third-best time in the meet and the sixth-best time in Seattle U history.
