Friday Results (.pdf)

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Freshman Katharina Pesendorfer broke her own 3,000-meter steeplechase school record late Friday night, running 10:14.44 in the first heat at the NCAA West Preliminary Rounds at Hornet Stadium.

The Austria native ran the same event in 10:22.27 at the American Outdoor Championships two weeks ago to set the TU standard, qualifying her for her first career regional meet.

Despite running a historic time, neither she (23rd) nor teammate Alyssa Bolliger (36th) were able to qualify for the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Austin, Texas in June.
