STANFORD, Calif. -- Vallery Korir's 10k race late Friday night led the Washington State distance and throwing corps competing at the prestigious Stanford Invitational at Cobb Track and Angell Field as well as at the San Francisco State Distance Carnival which was held at Chabot College in Hayward, Calif.
 
Korir, a senior from Iten, Kenya, ran the 10,000m in a time of 33 minutes, 52.28 seconds for 19th place overall, and was the 13th collegiate runner, in the women's invitational race at Stanford. At the 2017 Stanford Invite, Korir ran the previous WSU record time of 33:58.17.
 
Chandler Teigen ran a PR time of 3:43.13 seconds in the men's 1500m section 3 for second place. Justin Janke and Paul Ryan finished one-two in the men's 1500m section 4 with Janke's time 3:47.30 and Ryan's time 3:47.85.
 
In the men's 3000m steeplechase section 3, Colton Johnsen's time of 9:05.11 was eighth place while Kyler Little's time of 9:33.26 was 15th. Devon Bortfeld finished 11th in section 2 of the women's 3000m steeplechase in a time of 10:32.47.
 
Tyler Jackson threw the discus a PR of 165-feet 10 inches (50.56m) on his sixth and final throw of the day for fifth place in the men's collegiate section. In the men's javelin invitational section, Cole Smith finished sixth after throwing a distance of 209-8 (63.90m).
 
NOTEWORTHY:

• Two sections of the men's 10,000m at Stanford had Cougars competing but were scheduled so late that those results will be reported in the Saturday Recap.
• WSU sprinters, hurdlers, and jumpers compete Saturday at the UCLA Legends Invitational.
• The Cougar Invitational meet, scheduled for April 14 at Mooberry Track has been cancelled.
