SEATTLE, Wash. - Fourth-place finishes in the premier sections of the men's and women's pole vault by Cal Rosenberg (Jr., Portland, OR/Grant) and Karis Anderson (Jr., Seattle/Roosevelt) highlighted performances by Western Washington University on Sunday at the University of Washington Indoor Track and Field at the Dempsey Indoor Pavilion on the UW campus.

Rosenberg cleared 15-5, just two inches shy of the NCAA Division II provisional national qualifying standard. Anderson, who already is a provisional qualifier, reached 12-0.

The Viking men got third-place efforts from Brett Watson (Fr., Ferndale) in the high jump (6-6 3/4) and Dak Riek (Jr., Everett/Mariner) in the 3,000 meters. Riek's time of 8:31.94 was the seventh fastest in Great Northwest Athletic Conference history.

WWU's Tyler Will (So., Spokane/Lewis & Clark) won the regular section of the men's pole vault with a mark of 14-7 1/4. Two other Vikings finishing among the top 10 in that event were Brett Mattson (Fr., Blaine), fifth (13-7 1/4), and Thomas Guidon (Jr., Bothell), 10th (13-1 1/2).

Completing the top 10 placers for the WWU men were Mark Pangilinan (So., Marysville/Marysville-Pilchuck), fourth (7.06) in the 60; Jon Poolman (R-Fr., Langley/South Whidbey), fourth in the 400 (49.66); Corey Pfeiff (Fr., Everett/Mariner), sixth in the 60 hurdles (9.01) and Shane Gruger (Sr., Shoreline/Shorewood) eighth (7.11) in the 60. Gruger also helped the 4x400 relay finish eighth (3:27.62).

In the regular section of the women's pole vault, WWU's Cheyenna Penley tied for seventh (10-8).

The Viking women placed seventh in the 4x400 (4:10.66). Brittany Grandy (Fr., Sedro-Woolley) was ninth in the high jump (5-3) and Katelyn Steen (Fr., Sammamish/Eastlake) 10th in the mile (5:09.42)
