Blanca Fernandez finished first in both her events at the American Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships in Orlando, Florida at the Central Florida Track Complex on Sunday.
Fernandez won the 1,500 and 5,000-meter races, scoring 20 of Temple’s 37 total points. The graduate student claimed back-to-back victories in the 1,500, as she took first last year as well.
In the 5K, Fernandez nabbed the top spot with a time of 16 minutes, 14.62 seconds, setting a new stadium record by about three seconds.
The time also broke Fernandez’s own school record in the event, setting a personal best time for her.
