CATCHING UP WITH COACH RILEY:
"It was a decent weekend for the Dons as we spanned three competitions over three days in two different cities. Down in Los Angeles, the highlight of the weekend was
Daniel Maneloveg's 5K, his time puts him number eight all-time for the Dons. Other highlights include
Abby Pradere's personal best in the 1,500M of 4:23.22 and solid openers for Ruby in the 1,500M and Baneet in the steeplechase. In SF, Gabby Mace had a great day doubling in the 100M hurdles and running 54.2 on the 4x400M. On the men's side the highlight was
Caleb Haugland's nine second personal best in the 1,500M. We're definitely looking forward to a couple weeks in a row of training as we head to Fresno on April 30."
