Hillsdale, Mich. - The Toledo women's track and field team, along with two men from the cross country team, set five personal records on day one of the Hillsdale GINA Relays today.
"We had a great first night at the Hillsdale GINA Relays," head coach Linh Nguyen said. "The weather was perfect for evening 5,000m performances, and we left 5/5 in PRs. Overall I'm really proud of the group this evening and I'm excited to watch how these races propel the rest of the weekend."
On the women's side, sophomore Roma Lucarelli and freshmen Hannah Sponaugle and Kayla Chapman set personal records. Lucarelli was Toledo's top finisher on day one, earning seventh in section one of the 5k open with a personal best time of 19:31.45. Sponaugle finished in 18:13.75, beating her previous record by 20 seconds. Chapman bested her personal record by 50 seconds after crossing the line in 18:19.61.
On the men's side, sophomore Aidan Gallagher won his heat and beat his personal record by 30 seconds (15:25.95). Gallagher also closed in 63 seconds over the last 400 meters of his race. Junior Brian Stubelt continued to improve his 5K time after finishing in 15:18.42 today, beating his previous best time that he set only a week ago.
Competition for day two of the Hillsdale GINA Relays kicks off tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. with the men's decathlon.
