Another School Record Goes Down at the West Coast Distance Carnival

Livermore, Calif. — Another Pepperdine track record went down at the West Coast Distance Carnival on Saturday, courtesy of junior Karl Winter's 1:51.47 in the 800-meter dash.

Winter (Stockton, Calif./Saint Mary's HS) now owns Pepperdine's track records for every metric distance from the 800 meters up to the 5K. This is the sixth school record set this year, and the third by Winter.
