During that meet, the Bruins set three school records and tied for most event wins with six victories. Graduate sprinter and hurdler Yanla Ndjip-Nyemeck recorded a time of 7.96 seconds in the women’s 60m hurdles—a mark that led all NCAA competitors and established a new school record. Michael Pinckney set a men’s weight throw record with a distance of 22.33 meters (73-3.25), while Keilee Hall broke the women’s 600m record with a time of 1:29.92. All three athletes won their respective events.
