AZUSA, Calif.  Allison Beasley on Thursday put on an impressive showing on the opening day of the Bryan Clay Invitational hosted by Azusa Pacific University.

Running a time of 10 minutes, 12.21 seconds in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, Beasley not only secured an outright personal best but is now the third-fastest Mountaineer to ever compete in the event — even surpassing head coach, Western standout and former national champion in the event, Jennifer Michel.

Beasley's time at the Invitational improved her national standing in the event to No. 2 on the NCAA Division II outdoor performance list.

Branden Davis, a redshirt freshman for the Mountaineers, secured an NCAA provisional mark in his 10,000m debut at the Bryan Clay Invitational. He ran 29:48.96 and is now sitting top 10 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference rankings.

Jackson Schwartz, having competed in the 3,000 steeplechase on Thursday at the Invitational, walked away with a time of 9:29.88, which also moves him into the top 10 on the RMAC performance list.

The Mountaineers will continue their competitions in California on Friday with Day Two of the Bryan Clay Invitational and the opening races at the Leopard Distance Carnival hosted by the University of LaVerne.
