PITTSBURGH -- Point Park track & field will split its squad over the weekend, competing at the Carnegie Mellon Invitational and the Tim Weaver Invitational in West Liberty, W.Va.

 

Point Park saw four program records fall at last week's 49er Classic in Charlotte, two on Friday and two on Saturday. Elijah Bechdel posted a time of 15:06.62 in the 5,000m, breaking the previous record by 7.5 seconds. Luke McKenna set a program record, finishing the 10,000m in 31:50.38. McKenna's previous program-best time was 32:09.31.

 

Khady Ndiaye finished fourth overall in the women's triple jump with a school-record mark of 11.72 meters in the event. She shattered the old mark of 11.54 meters in the event. In the women's 4x800 relay, the Point Park team of Jana Schmid, Lotte Zethof, Anna Babinyecz and Aubrey Smith set a new school-record time of 9:19.41, beating the old school record by more than 11 seconds.
