Egbeniyi set a school, facility and personal record this past weekend at Vanderbilt's Commodore Invitational with a time of 2:04.47 in the 800 meter. Her time also sits as the nation's best mark this season in the event.
The Lagos, Nigeria native captured MT's lone first-place finish this weekend. Egbeniyi's time broke the previous school record held by teammate Agnes Abu, who garnered last week's honor.
