MALIBU, Calif. — The Pepperdine indoor track team's season continues this week as the Waves head to Albuquerque, N.M. for the New Mexico Collegiate Classic from Feb. 2-3. Â
On Friday, the first event for the Waves in the unseeded 200-meter dash at 1:40 p.m. PT. Saturday's action begins with the unseeded 60-meter dash at 9:45 a.m. The meet will be live streamed, albeit behind a paywall, via FloTrack; live stream and live result links can be found on the women's track team's schedule page on pepperdinewaves.com.
Two weeks ago, the Waves began their season at the Lauren McCluskey Invitational, where Hannah Miller's school record in the 1,000-meter dash was the highlight performance. In the 600 meters, Avery Smith and Kayla Renner had top-3 finishes, while Ashley Egan ran a 2:26.42 in the 800 meters — less than two seconds off of her collegiate outdoor personal best. For the sprinters, school record holder Kaley Peterson ran Pepperdine's fastest times in the 60- and 200-meter dashes.
