3-12-07

A small group of Lewis-Clark State College cross country athletes took part in a track meet at Spokane Community College on Saturday and came away with three first-place finishes, two seconds, and a number of other top five finishes. 

Calin Hantau and Aaron Galbraith both set school records are barely missed national qualifying marks in the 1,500 and 5,000 meters, respectively. Hanau won the 1,500 in a time of 4:03.18. LCSC coach Mike Collins estimates Hantau came back from almost 80 meters behind during the final lap to win. 

LCSC runners finished 1-5 in the 5,000, with Galbraith winning in a photo finish in 15:29.62. 

On the women’s side, Katja Palm-Loevslett and Emily Perkins went 1-2 in the 5,000 meters for the Warriors,  and freshman Kyli Astle came through with a solid performance in the women’s 1,500 by finishing fourth. 

LCSC wont resume competition for about a month.
