Track & Field Thrives At Two-Day Meet At Indiana Invitational

Kendall Johnson Set A School Record To Highlight The Weekend

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The University of Dayton track and field wrapped up a successful two-day meet at the Indiana Invitational. In Bloomington, the Flyers set nine PRs and five top-five all-time marks in the indoor track record books. Also, the 4x400m relay team now holds the 99th-best time for the event in the NCAA.

QUOTE FROM COACH

"This weekend's meet was a very strong indication of the mentality and culture we have here at the University of Dayton," shared Associate Head Coach Aaron Gordon. "The team came out and competed/executed better and more efficiently. We looked a little more fine tuned and aware during our events. It is always nice to see school records and top-five marks fall during the early season. We are definitely looking forward to seeing our season progress into its later stages as things start to come together."

  • Freshman Kendall Johnson set the school record in the long jump. The freshman jumped 5.87m while finishing in fourth place. Also, the record she broke dated back to 2012.
