HUNTINGTON, IN – Saturday was another solid day for the Spring Arbor University women's track and field team at the Huntington Invitational.  Two school records were set during the event with the first to fall was the 4x100m relay mark. 

The team of Ellie Reynolds, Amanda Luurtsema, Jessica Czinder, and Jessica Lee finished first with a time of 49.81 beating the old mark set in 1999 by Denise Abernathy, Mandy Malcim, Lannette Mossolle, & Amber Woolsey.  

The second of the day was set by Vanessa Rogers in the Pole vault at 11'9 beating her own record from last season of 10'10.  Roger's jump was good enough for the 'B' Standard qualifying mark for the NAIA National Championship later this spring.

Danae Dracht put together a great performance in the 5K with a time of 18:09.29 which is fourth on the Cougars All-Time list.

Ellie Reynolds finished second in the 100m hurdles with a time of 16.35 which puts Ellie fifth on the All-Time list.
