SEATTLE, Wash. – Junior Cori Moore and senior Dana Morgan landed 13th and 14th in the national rankings this week with their mile times after stunning performances at the UW Indoor Preview on Saturday in Dempsey Indoor.
Portland track & field mustered up some great performances for a meet so early in the season, the first of 11 indoor events for the Pilots.
“Our milers did an excellent job, with Cori, Dana, and Sifrash all running big PRs,” said head coach Ian Solof.
Moore (5th, 4:52.96) posted the second best one-mile performance all-time for a Pilot runner. Morgan (6th, 4:53.34) now sits fourth all-time. Redshirt senior Sifrash Ademe followed closely finishing the meet in seventh spot with a time of 4:57.45. Ademe’s time puts her at seventh on the UP all-time list.
Junior Paige Pattillo had a standout performance in the 3,000-meters (11th, 10:19.07) marking her first competition of any kind in nearly two years.
“I was also thrilled with Paige’s race,” said Solof. “Paige and the rest of the team will be ready to accomplish big things in the next few months.”
The Pilots now resume training for two weeks before returning to Dempsey Indoor for the UW Invitational on Jan. 29-30.
