The Rutgers track and field program broke five school records and set 22 new personal records during the two day Meyo Invitational in South Bend, Indiana. It’s the fifth straight meet this indoor season that the program has established a new school record.
Freshman distance runner Alex Carlson helped set two school records in the meet with a time of 9:15.40 in the 3,000-meter event to finish in 6th place. She broke an almost 20 year record previously held by All-American Julie Culley from the 2003 Metropolitan Championships. Carlson was also a member of the distance medley relay team that included Lou Mialhe, Charlee Crawford and Shelby Whetstone which broke another 19 year record with a time of 11:27.
