Katelyn Steen and Travis Milbrandt each won events in meet-record times, highlighting Western Washington University performances at the 34th Annual Ralph Vernacchia Track and Field Open meet held Saturday, Apr. 25, at Civic Stadium.

Steen won the women’s 5,000 meters in a time of 16:35.53, knocking about 25 seconds off the record set by Sarah Porter in 2010, and clipping more than eight seconds off a season-best time that was already a NCAA Division II provisional qualifier.
