Moriarty Sets New SPU Women's Mile Mark, Perkins Improves Time
February 11, 2006

SEATTLE (Feb. 11) ­ Mary Moriarty broke Seattle Pacific University's indoor mile record and teammate Teona Perkins clocked the ninth-best 800-meter time in NCAA Division II at the Husky Classic track and field meet at the Dempsey Center Saturday.

Moriarty (Fr., Seattle/Ballard) and Karin Rohde (So., Bellingham, Wa./Mount Baker) each made the NCAA provisional qualifying list, with respective times of 5:03.25 and 5:03.75. Rohde had set the SPU mark 5:04.63 earlier this season.

Perkins (Jr., Kennewick, Wa.) improved her qualifying time by nearly 2 seconds, to 2:14.65, and finished 15th overall.

In the men's long jump, Seattle Pacific's Chris Randolph (Sr., Lone Tree, Co.) was 15th with a best leap of 21 feet, 10¾ inches.

The balance of the Falcon track team will participate in Sunday's UW Open No. 3. The Great Northwest Athletic Conference Championships are next Saturday in Nampa, Id.
