Pima Community College sophomore Reatta Danhof of Ironwood Ridge High School broke her fourth school record in as many weeks as she topped her own school record in the 800-meter race at the Gaucho Indoor Invitational at Glendale.

Danhof finished the 800 in a time of 2 minutes, 18.31 seconds. She set the previous standard at the Al Shirley Memorial Invitational on Jan. 17 with a time of 2:21.32.

The Aztecs earned two more national qualifying marks. They have a total of 32 national qualifying marks/times between the men’s and women’s teams.

Sophomore Linda Rivero (Desert View) took third place in the 800 meters and moved up to the No. 2 spot in Pima school history with a time of 2:22.12. She also earned an indoor national qualifier in the process.

Danhof, Rivero and sophomore Alyssa Perez and freshman Ella Allred (Benson) all qualified for the 4×800 relay at the NJCAA Indoor National Championships. Their times compiled together in the race earn their spot. Allred took fourth place with a time of 2:27.52 and Perez crossed the finish line in fifth place with a time of 2:30.80.

The Aztecs will return to the West Campus Aztec Track on Friday and Saturday for the Pima Multi’s/Indoor Invitational.
