AZUSA, Calif.—Taking advantage of the stacked fields and friendly weather, the Western Oregon's Curt Knott and Parker Marson cracked the school's all-time outdoor performance list while competing at the Azusa Pacific Bryan Clay Invite on Friday.

Marson, a senior from Pleasant Hill, California, shaved nearly two full seconds off his previous career low in the 1,500-meter run with a time of 3 minutes, 50.96 seconds. The time jumped Marson into the No. 10 slot on WOU's all-time leader board. 

Though missing out on the NCAA provisional qualifying barrier of 3:50.52 by mere strides, Marson's time ranks second in the GNAC this season based on results coming into the week's action.  
 
Marson's previous best of 3:52.94 was established at San Francisco State in late March and was the No. 5 time in the GNAC to start the day.

Knott, meanwhile, cut his former career best time in the 800 by .80 with a 1:51,45. Already the GNAC leader in the two-lapper, Knott dipped below the NCAA 'B" standard of 1:52.03 and climbed to the No. 8 spot on WOU's all-time outdoor performance list. 
 
Knott was one of three Wolves to net career bests in the 800 on Friday as Adam Alnazer (1:54.26) and Max Carmona (1:54.40) also dipped below previous PR's. 

Several WOU sprinters posted season-best time on the day. Hailey Sears doubled up with season bests in the 100 (12.82) and the 200 (26.19). Codi Blodgett duplicated the feat in the men's dashes with times of 10.91 and 22.33.
 
In the 400 hurdles, Grayson Burke (1:05.73) and Nicole Niskanen (1:07.30) registered personal records, while Michaela Yonkman crossed the line .01 shy of her career best with a 1:06.35.
