SPOKANE, Wash- Gonzaga Track finished the Whitworth Invite with three wins and another new program record, as the Zags emerged with wins in the Men's 5k and both the men's and women's 3k.
Hayden Roberts set a new GU record in the 800 meters, finishing in 1:52.05, breaking a record that had previously stood for a decade. He ran an incredibly evenly paced race, with every 200-meter split being nearly within a second of each other.
The Zags picked up wins in the 3k thanks to career best performances from Maria Taggi Padro and Zander Trevino. Taggi Padro finished in 9:55.13, winning by a huge margin and lapping several opponents. She was over 25 seconds ahead of the second place finisher, putting nearly a full lap between her and every other runner.
Trevino ran a time of 8:30.44, running well alongside Noah McMahan, who finished in 8:31.32, to set two career best times. Gus Clevenger picked up a win in the 5k on Friday night, finishing in 14:19.97 in a career best time.
Gonzaga Track will turn attention towards the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships on March 13th, with the final list of bids for participants to be announced on March 3rd. Outdoor Track season will kick off in Spokane on March 20th at the Sam Adams Classic. Â
