LA VERNE, Calif. – Headlined by school records, the Pacific men's and women's track and field program compiled emphatic finishes this weekend at the Bryan Clay Invitational, hosted by Azusa Pacific at Cougar Athletic Stadum, and the Leopard Invitational, hosted by University of the La Verne at Ortmayer Stadium.

Junior Gianna Solano, sophomore Angelina Lione and junior Jack Weber turned in promising performances across the three days of competition in Southern California, etching their names in the Pacific record books in the process.

Solano, one of 14 Tigers competing at the Bryan Clay Invitational, established a school record in the women's 800 meter run with a time of 2:16.37. Solano beat the previous record by over a second, surpassing teammate Sophia Livingston's best (2:17.55) from last season at the Occidental Invitational.

Competing in one of the longest distance events of her 2026 campaign, Lione breezed into breaking the Pacific women's 10k record, clocking a time of 35:58.28 in Azusa, California. Lione toppled an 11-year-old previous best (37:20.38) set by Becky Grabow at the 2015 West Coast Conference Last Chance Meet, securing 40th place overall in the race.

The best individual finish by a Tiger at the Bryan Clay Invitational came from Weber, who came in ninth place in the 1,500-meter run, but more importantly earned the school record in the event with a time of 3:48.23. Junior Samuel Lanham finished behind Weber in 28th place with the second-fastest 1,500-meter run in school history at 3:55.50.

Sophomore William Boyd IV made his mark in the 200-meter dash at the Leopard Invitational, setting a personal record and earning the fastest mark in that event with a time of 22.76.

Also in La Verne, California, sophomore Jonathan Jones long-jumped 6.47 meters for an outdoor personal record, .02 meters shy of his all-time best jump.

The Tigers look to carry the momentum from the weekend into next month, eyeing May 1 for the Payton Jordan Invitational, hosted by Stanford at Cobb Track and Angell Field.
