STANFORD, Calif. – Chris Reed continues to etch his name atop the Western Oregon track & field record books.

The senior's latest feat was registering a time of 14:21.14 among elite competition at the Stanford Invitational to spring to the top Wolves' record book and into fourth place in Great Northwest Athletic Conference history in the 5,000 meter run.

“This was the first distance race for Chris since cross country,” explained Western Oregon head coach Mike Johnson. “We have been working hard and this is what you get.”

Reed now owns the Western Oregon outdoor record in the 5k and the 10k, along with the indoor record in the mile and the 5k. Reed is also a member of WOU's record breaking and All-American indoor distance medley relay team.

Up the road at the SFSU Distance Carnival, Western Oregon saw another pair of runners make movement on the school's all-time top 10 list.

Lexi Pola registered a time of 58.50 in the women's 400m to move from eighth to sixth in the record books. That time also earned her a second place finish in the event.

Madison McClung also posted a second place finish as she ran a 25.46 in the 200m to move to eighth place in Western Oregon history. McClung then earned a first place finish in the women's 100m dash with a season-best time of 12.45.

Connor Kasler represented the Western Oregon men in the winners' circle at the Distance Carnival as well. He ran a time of 3:57.42 in the 800m to finish ahead of the 40-man field.

Brandon Snook placed his name sixth in the school record books with time of 9:18.82 in the 3,000m steeple chase.

Donavan McFadden and Eric Gaines finished one-two in the men's high jump at the meet, after clearing heights of 5-11.5 (1.82m) and 5-9.75 (1.77m), respectively.

The Stanford Invitational will continue on Saturday.
