SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Sacramento State men's and women's track & field teams competed at three meets over Thursday and Friday where Hornet athletes posted four school top 10 marks.
On Thursday night at the Bryan Clay Invitational in Azusa, Calif., Haley Heinemann and Adrianna Royal each improved their top 10 marks in the women's steeplechase. Heinemann ran 11:07.44 and now ranks sixth in school history. Here time was nearly five seconds faster than her previous best. Royal posted a time of 11:12.12 to move from eighth to seventh in school history. Her previous best was 11:17.74 set last season.
Chloe Berlioux, a senior from Tulsa, Okla., finished fourth in the 1500 at the Mt. SAC Relays after running 4:22.39.
