Ericka Dorn broke a pair of College of San Mateo records at San Francisco State’s Mike Fanelli Track Classic over the weekend.
The sophomore out of Westmoor High School took nearly two seconds off her own Bulldogs mark in the 800 meters on Saturday, running 2:14.98 seconds, the best community college time in Northern California this season and No. 2 in the state. She set the former mark of 2:16.27 last year.
Dorn posted a NorCal best in the 5,000 meters on Friday, 17:46.66, breaking a 10-year-old CSM record and ranks No. 5 in the state this season. The former Bulldogs mark was 18:04.18 by Mirka Uhlirova in 2016.
