SEATTLE (April 16) ­ Chris Randolph of Seattle Pacific University was named the men's track and field athlete of the week in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference after breaking both the school and conference records for the decathlon.

Randolph, Seattle Pacific (Sr., Lone Tree, Co./Denver Christian) broke the 36-year-old Falcon mark taking third place with a GNAC record score of 7,612 points at the Mount SAC Relays. He broke the old SPU record of 7,520, set by Steve Gough in 1970 and his own conference record of 7,309 set last season.

Randolph had six PRs altogether, and his pole vault (14-11) and 110 hurdles time (14.82) each rate No. 2 on school lists. Three of his marks - 400 meters, 110 hurdles and javelin ­ were GNAC records for a multi-event and nine of his 10 performances bettered the GNAC qualifying standard for the conference meet. His hurdles time is the best in the conference this spring in any meet.
