RESULTS
FRESNO, Calif. – On the first day of the PacWest Track and Field Championship Meet, California Baptist University saw its first champion crowned and multiple Lancers qualify for Saturday's finals.
Emeline Delanis kept up her speedy pace from last week and won the 3K steeplechase championship in record fashion, also earning herself All-PacWest honors. She clocked in at 10 minutes, 40.45 seconds, which beat out the previous meet (10:46.54) and stadium (10:47.28) records by six seconds or more, despite it not being her fastest time.
Kim Rabenstein took fourth, crossing the finish line in 11:14.84, while Morgan Spurlock took ninth in 11:51.87 to put three Lancers in the top-10.
CBU also had a ton of success in the 1500-meter prelims, qualifying all six runners for the final round on Saturday. Leanda du Bruyn took second in her heat by just .08 seconds, finishing in 4:45.51. Natalia Novak wasn't far behind, crossing the finish line in 4:46.90. Tori Dutchover took fourth in the heat with a time of 4:47.22.
Fruzsi Ladanyi won her heat in a time of 4:57.85 to automatically grab a spot in the finals, with Berenice Cleyet-Merle – who won last year's 1500m championship – also qualifying with a time of 4:58.68. Katie Deimling grabbed the last spot in the finals with a time of 5:00.17.
Alicia Williams posted the fastest prelim time (2:17.26) in the 800-meter race to guarantee her opportunity to win the championship tomorrow. Cleyet-Merle won her heat in 2:17.52 to compete for her second 800m championship after winning it in 2016.
