Women's distance crew set 10 personal bests in Boston.

BOSTON, Mass. – For the second day in a row, a Longhorn took down the 800m program record on the Boston University track. Valery Tobias of the No. 1 women's track and field team just so happened to beat her own record.

Tobias got the day rolling as the top collegiate-finisher in the 800m, finishing with the fifth-fastest time at 2:02.25. Her time not only leads the NCAA, but also bests her previous Texas record in the 800 and set the new Mexican National Record.
