PORTLAND, Ore. — The University of San Francisco track team turned in another solid tune-up meet Sunday at the Portland Indoor II meet, as it prepares for the home stretch of the indoor season later this month.
 
The Dons earned 10 top-10 finishes on the day in the short and middle distances. Freshman Baneet Bains was the first collegiate finisher in the mile with a runner-up finish in 5 minutes, 1.03 seconds. She finished only behind USF alumna and current director of operations Dana Klein. Fellow newcomers Eve Jensen (7th, 5:10.95) and Katherine Badham (8th, 5:10.98) were also among the top-10 in the mile.
 
Kalii Caldwell finished 11th in the mile in 5:13.11. MacKenzie Yanek made her season and USF career debut with a 12th-place finish in the mile with a time of 5:13.52.
 
Julija Praprotnik broke the 60-seconds mark and finished fourth in the 400 with a time of 59.55 seconds. Freshman Willa Gibson was right behind her in fifth in 1:00.28. The Dons also had a large group in the 200 led by freshman Evelyn How, who placed fifth in 26.54. Classmates Rayne Anwar (6th, 26.60) and Sarah Marske (8th, 26.92) also finished among the top-10.
 
San Francisco will split up next weekend when it travels to both Boise State's Bronco Challenge and the University of Washington's Husky Classic. Follow USF track and cross country on Twitter and Instagram at @DonsXCTF for updates.
