SEATTLE – Backed by Air Force Top 10 times from senior India Jones, junior Ella Johnson, and classmate Anna Harden, the Falcons' distance squad kicked off the weekend with a strong showing against some of the nation's elite at the Husky Classic on Friday (Feb. 13) night in Seattle.
Jones and Johnson combined for two of the three-fastest times in the 5000-meter run, as the pair finished second and third, respectively, in a 33-runner event. Jones deleted nearly 25 seconds off her previous best to move up to No. 5 on the program's all-time standings with a 15:53.19 finish, while Johnson knocked more than 27 seconds off her time to improve her No. 8 standing behind a 16:01.59 finish.
Harden opened the Falcons' afternoon at Dempsey Indoor with a 9:27.21 finish in the 3000-meter run. Finishing within the top 30 (28th) of a field that featured 80 runners, the junior deleted nearly three seconds off her previous best to move up to No. 8 on the Academy's all-time standings.
On the men's side, senior Jayden Nats used a time of 13:46.52 to win the 5000-meter run, while classmates Brenton Maddox and Tanner Lindahl finished eighth (13:57.69) and 12th (14:00.64), respectively, in the 34-runner field. The latter pair impacted the Air Force Record Book with their races, as Maddox debuted at No. 15 and Lindahl entered the all-time standings at No. 19.
Air Force continues racing at the Husky Classic tomorrow (Feb. 14), while the rest of the Falcons' track and field team wrap up competition at the Jarvis Scott Invitational in Lubbock.
