Five Mustangs competed on the opening day of the Bryan Clay Invitational on Thursday. Kelli Gaffney and Isabel Sanchez both posted top-five marks in program history, and Ashlyn Leath ran a massive lifetime best to highlight action for the Mustangs.<\/p>\n
Leath got a jam-packed week of action for Cal Poly underway with an incredible showing Thursday morning. The junior posted a nearly two-minute lifetime best in the Open A section of the women\u2019s 10,000-meter, crossing the line in 34:45.87 \u2014 the 12th fastest time in school history. She soared past her previous PR of 36:37.62 recorded at last year\u2019s Big West Championships, where she placed fifth in her section<\/p>\n
Gaffney and Sanchez also impressed for the women\u2019s distance squad. Under the lights, Gaffney thrived, running the fastest women\u2019s 10,000 by a Mustang in 36 years. She crossed the line in a blistering time of 33:49.78, moving up to No. 3 in school history in the event. It was an over 23-second lifetime best for the 2025 NCAA West Prelims qualifier in the event.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sanchez climbed to No. 4 in school history in the women\u2019s 3,000 steeplechase with a time of 10:33.75. Sanchez is the defending Big West champion in the 3,000 steeplechase.<\/p>\n
