Also on Friday a handful of distance runners qualified to run at the Hale Distance Night...the big deal in distance running during the track season. Even for distance runners it was not a super awesome night to run. But they didn't seem to care. Awesome runs continue to build on a lot of great seasons:

• Kyra Obermeyer achieved a 5-second PR in the Frosh 1600

• Annalise Kuehn bettered her season PR in the 800 by 5 seconds as well

• Iona Kuehn ran her career best in the 1600

• Ana Buske cut three seconds off her season PR in the 1600

• Reina Ebeling became the 3rd girl in program history to break the 5-minute mark in the 1600...a nearly 9-second PR
