STANFORD, Calif. (Apr. 1) -- Rachel Ross of Seattle Pacific University extended her unbeaten streak to six middle-distance races with a pair of wins at the Stanford Invitational, including the season's fastest 1500-meter time in NCAA Division II at Cobb Track.

Ross (Jr., Kennewick, Wa.) surpassed her own personal record by over 3 seconds in the morning session of the 1500, taking first place in 4 minutes, 30.71 seconds. It was the best metric mile time by an SPU runner in nine years and No. 6 all-time. Michigan's Lisa Ouellet was runner-up in 4:31.93.

The Falcons got another personal-best performance from freshman Jamie Witt (Fr., Folsom, Ca.), who took third in her heat of the 5000 in 17:29.62. It is the No. 3 qualifying time in Div. II and improved her PR by over 14 seconds.

In other SPU activity, Sarah Kraybill (So., Seattle, Wa./Ballard) ran the 400 in 59.19 and the 800 in 2:16.98 and Stephanie Huffman (Jr., Brush Prairie, Wa./Prairie) was 11th in the javelin (133-2).
