SEATTLE – UCLA Track and Field saw 10 all-time indoor top 10 finishes at its final meet of the indoor season, including a new indoor school record at the Ken Shannon Last Chance Invitational hosted by the University of Washington.
Peter Herold placed fourth in the meet with his 13:37.22 in the men's 5000m race, which is a near-five second PR for the junior. Herold previously held the No. 2 spot on the indoor all-time top 10 list but leapfrogs Robert Brandt (13:40.82; Feb. 8, 2019) for the new indoor school record. Herold also placed sixth in the one-mile race, finishing in 4:02.44.
