AZUSA, California " Four members of the Pepperdine men's track team competed in the 5,000 meters at Azusa Pacific's Bryan Clay Invitational on Thursday night in the final meet of the 2018 season.
The huge event featured nine different heats of the 5,000 meters, each with about 30-something runners.
Jalen Frantal (Westerville, Ohio/Westerville Central HS) and Justin Touhey (Stony Point, N.Y./Don Bosco Preparatory HS) had the best finishes in their various heats. Frantal was 11th out of 37 runners in 15:04.14. Touhey was 15th out of 35 runners in 15:17.38. Both recorded personal-best times in the event.
Kevin Maeda (Highland, Calif./Citrus Valley HS), a senior competing in his final collegiate event, had the best time of the four, finishing in 14:59.05. Kyle Johnson (Rochester Hills, Mich./Rochester HS) was the fourth Wave in action and he ran 15:29.87.
"It was a nice meet tonight at Azusa Pacific," Pepperdine Coach Robert Radnoti said. "Jalen and Justin both ran nice races and had PRs. It was a great learning experience for everyone. This was the final race for Kevin so we wish him well as he goes on to dental school. For our other guys, they're sophomores and freshmen who had great experiences this year, and they will get stronger and be even better in the future. It's been a good season for Pepperdine track."
