SEATTLE, Wash. – University of Hawai'i sophomore Zhane Santiago broke the school's 60-meter hurdles record twice during Saturday's Husky Classic at the University of Washington's Demsey Indoor.
 
The Hau'ula, O'ahu native, broke the record in the prelims with a time of 8.66 seconds, then set it again in the finals with a mark of 8.59 seconds which was good for fifth place. The previous record was 8.68 second by Thalia Amanakis in 2008.

Santiago was one of four Rainbow Wahine hurdlers to run personal bests in the event along with Amanda Alvarez (8.87), Samantha Esperanza (9.00), and Samantha Balentine (9.23). Balentine, a senior from Lodi, Calif., also equaled her personal best in the high jump, tying for first with a mark of 5-10 (1.78m).
 
Alvarez, a junior from Vancouer, Wash., placed second in the triple jump – and was the top collegiate finisher – with a leap of 39-8.75 (12.11). She also set a new personal best in the long jump (18-7.75/5.68m), placing fourth overall but tops among collegiate competitors. In both events, Alvarez finished only behind members of the U.S. Olympic Development Program.
 
Several other UH athletes set PRs in their respective events – junior Ashley Satterwhite in the 400-meters (58.78); Esperanza (26.86) and freshman Morgan Struble (26.09) and  in the 200-meters; and junior Tiare Nakashima in the mile (5:26.90).
 
UH concludes its third trip to Seattle, Wash., by competing in the UW Open, Sunday, its final indoor competition of the regular season.
