SHERWOOD, Ore.---Track and field veteran Caleb Webb claimed the fifth-place all-time record in the men's 1500 meter run at the Portland Distance Carnival on Sunday night, collecting a new PR of 3:42.57 in addition to an individual win on the night.
 
The Portland men swept the top three spots in the men's 5000 meter run, with Michael Teran-Solano registering the first-place win with a time of 14:04.56. Stan Niesten took second, finishing the race with a new personal best of 14:16.30. Evert Silva came in third-place at 14:17.58.
 
Six Pilots also made their debuts in the men's 400 meter dash at the meet, with Konnor Hathaway securing first in 50.84, Parker Wilkerson finishing second in 50.89, and James Parker and Sully Nordheim taking third and fourth, with times of 51.35 and 52.42, respectively.

"Another great job by our guys!" said men's head coach Rob Conner. "Caleb was really impressive and we had a lot of great races, but Peter Allegre and James Parker really stand out in my mind! Both of those guys have battled injuries and are going out as seniors with great PRs!"

On the women's side, Veerle Bakker crossed the line first for Portland in the 1500 meter run, clocking in at 4:25.35 for third place overall. Anna Pataki followed soon after in fourth-place on the way to a new personal record of 4:26.67, and Stella Gillman nabbed sixth while earning a new PR of 4:31.02.
 
Lauren Block garnered fifth-place in the women's 800 meter run, shaving off nearly two seconds from her previous best to finish in 2:14.72.
 
"So many PRs tonight!" said women's head coach Ian Solof. "Great races for Teresa Perez and Sam Prusse and a great way to end the regular season."
 
Looking ahead, both teams will have a short break from competition in preparation for the NCAA West Preliminary Meet in College Station, Texas, which is set to begin on Thursday, May 27 and continue through Saturday, May 29.
