SEATTLE – The Gonzaga women's and men's track teams had several new Top-10 program times at the UW Preview inside the Dempsey Center Saturday.

After climbing into the program's indoor 800-meter and mile Top-10 lists last week, she crossed the line at 9:47.18 Saturday. The redshirt junior ran a 10:08.06 at the same meet last year, which ranked 10th entering this season on the all-time list.

In the women's mile, Ally Legard was 24th at 5:03.46, while Claire Gillett was right behind at 5:06.86 in 25th. Legard climbed from eighth to sixth all-time at GU. Gillett's time ranks seventh in program history. Alicia Anderson ran the ninth-fastest indoor mile in program history at 5:08.05.
In the men's 3,000 meters, Peter Hogan improved the program's sixth-best time at 8:13.20. He finished 20th overall in the event, and fourth in his heat. Evan Bates held off Dominic Arce and Cullen McEachern in the fourth heat. Bates crossed the line in first with a time of 8:18.60, which ranks ninth in program history. Arce (8:18.67) and McEachern (8:22.56) were second and third in the heat. Arce's time is 10th all-time at Gonzaga.
