SEATTLE, Wash. -- More records fell on Day 2 of the UW Invitational in Seattle on Saturday, with Marlee Cavitt breaking her own record in the 60-meter dash and Matt Strangio also breaking his own record in the indoor mile.
Cavitt ran a time of 7.45 in the women's 60-meter dash final, breaking the record she set earlier this year by nine-one-hundreths of a second. Her time of 7.66 in the preliminary heat was also the third-best time in program history. Sai Sawant impressed as well in the event with a time of 7.93 seconds, good for eighth all-time.
Also on the women's side, Laura Pellicoro and Fleur Templier ran the third and fourth fastest times in the indoor mile in program history, posting times of 4:37.28 and 4:40.80. Pellicoro currently owns the indoor mile record at 4:32.91, set last year. Teresa Perez also ran the eighth fastest time in the indoor 800-meter in program history at 2:11.93.
On the men's side, Matt Strangio broke his own record in the indoor mile with a time of 3:55.53. He is one of just three Pilots to record a mile under four minutes, and his time set on Saturday is just over four seconds faster than the next closest runner. Estanis Ruiz ran a stellar race as well in the mile with a time of 4:00.81, the fifth best all-time.
The Pilots will be back in action with the Portland Indoor Two on Sunday, Feb 4 at the Chiles Center. Check PortlandPilots.com for more information.
