LA MIRADA, Calif. --- Everyone knew going into it that the Pomona-Pitzer Collegiate All-Comers Invitational was the most important, and fastest, meet of the Indoor Track & Field season so far, but the amount of success the Eagles' would have was not predicted.
 
It was Biola's final chance to get some runners added to its NAIA National Championship team in advance of the March 5-7 Indoor Track & Field Championships, and the student-athletes came through, netting five new qualifications, a school record and a handful of personal-bests on Saturday.
 
Emily Heisinger, Taylor Holcomb, Morgan Dworak and Kate Smiley finished first of eight teams in the 4x100m relay with a :48.59, breaking the Eagles' record time of :48.87 that's been in the books since 2011.
 
Smiley, Dworak and Holcomb combined with Michelle Clark for success in another relay, the 4x400m relay, finishing second (4:04.47).
 
Anika Gasner was her usual fantastic self, setting a stadium record and new personal-best with her 4:57.86 first-place finish in the mile. It was also another 'A' qualifying time for the junior.
 
The men got solid performances from Kevin Horchler, Jeff Tran and Andrew Daedler. Daedler came painfully close to a national qualifying time in the mile, running a 4:21.30 to finish less than a second shy of qualifying. He finished ninth in the 61-man field.
 
Horchler added another event to his schedule at next month's national meet by finishing fifth with a 4:18.89 in the mile. Jeff Tran competed for the final time for Biola, hitting a 3.95m vault to conclude a fantastic career with the Eagles.
 
The 1,000m run on the women's side was Biola's most successful event on the afternoon as Kellian Hunt, Brooke Arvidson, Michelle Clark and Kathleen Bell all hit A or B qualifying standards and finished inside the top-13. Alisa Murray also finished inside the top-20 with a 3:06.79. All of those runners set new personal-bests except for Hunt, who still finished higher than any other Eagle in eighth.
 
Heisinger had the best outing of her young career with Biola, setting the record with the 4x100m team and finishing fourth in the 100m (:12.45), 28^th in the long jump (4.41m) and setting a new personal-best with an eighth-place finsih in the 200m (:26.24).
 
Megan Ransom is the last runner who set a personal-best in an event on Saturday, finishing sixth of 13 in the 400m hurdles (1:08.78).
 
Biola next competes at the NAIA Indoor Track & Field Championships in Geneva, Ohio from March 5-7.
