Stephanie Van Pelt’s school record in the 800-meter and her third-place finish in the mile highlighted their efforts at the Tyson meet. The sprints corps put up quality efforts on the fast track, falling just short of seasonal bests.
Van Pelt came out on top with top-three finishes and broke the school record for second place in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:09.
