The Knights Track And Field team traveled through a winter snowstorm early Saturday morning to compete at the Indiana Invitational on the campus of Indiana University.
Once inside the Gladstein Fieldhouse, the Knights scorched the track to set an amazing 10 school records – nine in individual events and one relay. What is most impressive of the school record setting barrage is the fact that the nine individual school records were set by nine different individuals of which five are freshmen, two sophomores and two juniors. The record setting women's 4 x 400m relay was accomplished by four freshmen, none of whom hold any other school records. The new school records and freshmen records are listed below.
The Knights will split the team this week. Part of the team will return to IU Friday for the Hoosier Hills Open. Then on Saturday, the Knights will take a squad to the Runners Forum at Anderson University.
