HAYWARD, Calif./STANFORD, Calif. – Colorado State posted eight new entries to its all-time outdoor lists in distance events with performances at the Stanford Invitational and Mike Fanelli Track Classic.

The Stanford Invitational is held at Cobb Track & Angell Field in Stanford, Calif., while the Mike Fanelli Track Classic is hosted by San Francisco State at Chabot College in Hayward, Calif. Of those eight top-20 marks registered by the Rams in California, three of them rank within the program's all-time top 10 in their respective events.

First up for the Rams at Stanford was junior Ali Kallner, who took fourth place in the second section of the women's 3,000-meter steeplechase. Kallner's time was 10:14.13, an 18-second personal best and the No. 7 time on CSU's all-time outdoor list.

Senior Cole Rockhold finished in the top 10 in the invitational section of the men's 5,000 meters, clocking a time of 13:53.66. Each of the top 15 finishers in that race finished with a better time than any athlete in the NCAA had registered to this point in the season.

A trio of Colorado State athletes competed in the 10,000 meters, including a pair of Rams on the women's side.

He improved upon his previous best by nearly 17 seconds, and moved up to 12th on CSU's all-time outdoor list with his performance.

Three Rams ran the 10,000 meters at the Mike Fanelli Track Classic.
