LOS ANGELES – The No. 16 University of Redlands Women's Track and Field team went 4-0 against California Lutheran University, host Occidental College, Pomona-Pitzer, and Chapman University Saturday afternoon at the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) No. 3 dual meet. The Bulldogs won nine events and combined for 17 first and second place finishes.

On the day the Bulldogs beat Cal Lutheran (119-28), Chapman (118-39), Pomona-Pitzer (106-56), and Occidental (109-52).  

Much has been the case all year, the sprinters for the Bulldogs came out and had very successful meet. Three of the four top two spots and four of the six top three finishers were Bulldogs in the 100m and 200m. Sydney Harness (Henderson, NV) was one of two Bulldogs to win two races/events as she was the top finisher with times of 12.34 and 25.27 in the 100m and 200m, respectively.  

Alexandra Ackerman (Lake Elsinore, CA) took second in the 100m with a time of 12.49 and then third in the 200m. She then joined the 4x100 Relay team with Harness, but they were unable to score as their relay team was disqualified for a second straight meet.  

In the 100m hurdles and 400M Hurdles the Bulldogs had the race winner with Ella Bachmeier (Rancho Capistrano, CA) winning the 100m Hurdles in 14.79 and Elee Faulkner (Blaine, WA) winning the 400m Hurdles in a personal best time of 1:03.09. The third top-two finish in the hurdles was Bachmeier running a personal best 1:04.67 in the 400m.

Chloe Bullock (Hood River, OR) re-set her personal best time in the 3000m Steeplechase as she won the race in 11:30.76, 18.60 seconds faster than her previous personal best time two weeks ago at SCIAC No. 2.

Moving into the record books with a personal best clearing height and tying the fifth best mark in program history was Savannah Engler (Petaluma, CA) in the pole vault. She set the mark on her fourth height of 3.35m/10' 11.75", a massive improvement of 0.30m/11.75" from two weeks ago as she was the event runner-up.

Joining Harness with two event wins was Maigan Adams (Los Angeles, CA) who won the Long Jump and Triple Jump with a personal best mark in the Long Jump of 5.65m/18' 6.5" and then a winning second jump of 11.24m/36' 10.5" in the Triple Jump. Adams' Long Jump mark is the third best mark in program history, narrowly beating out teammate Ciara Aw (Shoreline, WA).

The runner-up in each event was Aw who jumped 5.45m/17' 10.75" in the Long Jump and a personal best 10.96m/35' 11.5" in the Triple. Aw's Triple Jump mark gets her into the program's Top-10 at ninth place.

Joining the sprinter and jumpers with multiple wins were the throwers who won two of the four events (shot put and discus) and had the runner-up in the Hammer and Javelin. Winning the shot put was Timony Sherry (Shoreline, WA) following a final throw of 11.77m/38' 7.5".  Sherry was also one of the two runners-up as she took second place in the Javelin with a personal best throw coming on her third attempt which went 29.23m/95' 11".
