CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Pilots recorded another successful weekend of racing with multiple PRs and two all-time marks. 

A strong women's 1500 highlighted Day 1 of competition for the Pilot women. Sam Prusse, Mathilde Deswaef, and Claire Fagan went 1-2-3 in heat 1 to sweep the event. Stina Pettersson finished close behind for fifth, as well. 

Laura Pellicoro won the women's 800 meter run in a time of 2:04.57. Stina Pettersson came off a strong performance in the 1500 meter on Day 1 to run a PR in the 800, finishing in 2:11.18. 

 
"That was the best meet we've had down there in a long time." Said Coach Ian Solof. "I was especially happy with how aggressively everyone raced. It seemed like we either won or were in the mix to win every heat we were in. I saw lots of great competitiveness!" 
 

The men's 5,000 meter race saw the most success for the Pilots where five out of six Pilots in the field ran a PR. The invite heat of the event was led by Freshman Pedro Vazquez who ran a debut 14:25.05, while Paul law ran a PR of 14:46.83 to lead the regular heat. 

 

The men's 800 meter included two all-time marks, led by Konnor Hathaway's 1:49.96, good for No. 5 All-Time. The performance was also Hathaway's first time cracking the 1:50 barrier. Aidan Fitzgerald had another stellar performance, finishing in 1:50.77, good for No. 8 All-Time. 

 

"We had a beautiful couple of days in Corvallis and got a lot of great performances," Said Head Coach Rob Conner. "Big races by Konnor Hathaway breaking 1:50 for the first time, which puts him on the bubble for regionals and a nice pr by Aidan Fitzgerald who ran 1:50! We really liked the races by Pedro Vazquez, Paul Law, A J Reyes, Evan DelaCruz, Brady Martisus, Connor Kennedy and Kai Vickers in the 5000 too."

 

The Pilots will return to action next weekend at the UO Twilight in Eugene and the Portland Twilight. For more coverage and info, visit PortlandPilots.com.
