Senior Emma Huston (Des Moines, Iowa) added another honor to her stellar career by setting the Drake University school record in the women's 5,000 meters on Friday evening at the Stanford Invitational.
Huston finished third in her heat of the event in a blistering 16:06.55 to shatter the previous 33-year-old record of 16:16.43 set by Liz Hjalmarsson in 1983. In addition to besting that record by nearly 10 seconds, it was also a 21-second personal best for Huston.
In the men's 3,000-meter steeplechase, Rob McCann (Mississauga, Ontario) won his heat of the event in 8:47.
