Warner Pacific's Amelia Pullen, Brittany Coleman, and Lindsay MacKenzie traveled across the nation to a large indoor track meet at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan and came away with some big marks.  Pullen, a freshman from Washougal, Washington who had just become Warner's first women's cross country All-American at the NAIA National Cross Country Championships two weeks earlier, had a big day in the 5000m, running 17:24. The result is an automatic national qualifying mark, a new school record and a personal best for her. It was almost a minute faster than was needed for an automatic berth to the NAIA National Indoor Championships later this winter in Brookings, South Dakota.

Coleman was fourth at the  NAIA Outdoor Championships last spring with a personal best there of 39' 5.25" and hoped to get close to that mark again, but fell short of that mark and will now start her outdoor season this  coming week at the Pacific Preview meet in Forest Grove, OR.
