Lowry Makes History During Opening Day of MVC Indoors

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa. – The University of Evansville men's and women's track and field teams kicked-off the 2020 Missouri Valley Conference Indoor Championship with some record-breaking performances.

Junior distance runner Anna Lowry once again wrote herself into the UE record books in spectacular fashion, capturing second place in the women's 5,000-meter race, setting a new school record by almost half a minute and only three seconds off the pace runner (16:53.18). Lowry also becomes the first Evansville track and field athlete to earn MVC first team all-conference accolades.

Scoring points on the men's side, Ian Alberts posted a tie for eighth place 4.
