Alert the media. Tyler King is getting faster.

The already ultra-quick former Wolf, who now runs cross country and track for the University of Washington, set a PR in the 5,000 meter race at the Stanford Invitational in Palo Alto at the end of March.

His time of 14 minutes, .58 seconds topped his previous college best by more than 18 seconds.

King then followed that up with a strong showing in the 1,500 at the Pepsi Team Invitational in Eugene. He clocked in at 3:57.91 in that race.
