Garcia Breaks School Record on Record-Breaking Day
TOPEKA, Kan. – Paula Garcia becomes the first Shocker woman to break the 24-second barrier in the 200-meter dash, setting a new school record at the All-Kansas Invite in Topeka.
"I'm extremely proud of Paula and what she did today, not only for breaking the school record in the 200m but also for running her best ever 4x400 split (53.3) afterwards," springs/hurdles coach John Wise said. "She is one of the most dedicated athletes I've ever worked with, and we think this is only the beginning of a great season. Working with someone like her is why I got into coaching."
