BELLINGHAM, Wash. - Western Washington University had NCAA Division II national provisional qualifying performances at two different northern California track and field meets Friday.

Jordan Welling (So., Burlington/Burlington-Edison High School) posted a time of 14:28.48 in finishing 13th in a men's 5,000 meters heat at the Stanford University Invitational, and Anthony Tomsich (Jr., Fairbanks, AK/West Valley) was clocked in 3:51.96 as he placed third in the men's 1,500 at the San Francisco State University Distance Carnival.

Also competing for the Vikings at the SFSU meet were Nick Abraham (So., Sammamish/Skyline), who was 12th in the men's 800 with a time of 1:58.31 and Alex Wipf (Fr., Edmonds/Meadowdale), who was 49th in the men's 5,000 with a 15:54.51 clocking.

Welling placed ninth in the 5,000 at the NCAA II National Indoor Championships earlier this month.
