REDLANDS, Calif. – The University of Redlands outdoor track and field teams set nine new top 10 times and marks last week at the Redlands Invitational including a middle distance school record from a familiar face.

Jaiden Coleman ran a 10.44 in the 100m and took fourth. His time moves him into third place all time in program history. He also added a seventh-place finish in the 200m (21.64).

In the middle distances two more top 10 times were posted, first it was Matthew Farnsworth in the 1500m. He won the race in 3:57.46, the new 10th-fastest time in program history.

Next in the 3000m Stian Asper won the race in 8:36.20, setting the program record by 4.14 seconds over Ronan Byrne's time which came at the same meet last spring.

Christian Ferguson is only the fourth Bulldog from the 21st century to post a top 10 mark in the hammer and the first from the 2020s as he moved up into second place all time with a first attempt throw of 53.22m, 174' 7".

The fifth top 10 athlete was Nikolas Sorich in the decathlon where he scored 5716 points which tied him with Afari La-Anyane for the 10th-highest total. In the decathlon he posted personal bests in the javelin (44.78m | 4th place), pole vault (3.60m | 5th), discus (32.61m | 4th), and shot put (12.28m | 1st).

The three top 10 athletes were all heptathletes in Elisabeth Eichinger, Madison Eaton, and Shaylee Heron.
