Two of Butler's most accomplished runners toed the line with the nation's fastest competition at Sunday night's Payton Jordan Invitational on the Stanford campus. Olivia Pratt and Erik Peterson turned in strong individual performances.
Pratt's time of 16:16.01 in the 5,000 meters placed eighth in Section 3. It was a personal-best for Pratt. Former Bulldog Mara Olson, now running professionally, ran in the same section. She posted a time of 16:03.14.
