Utica, N.Y. – The Le Moyne College women's indoor track team set four program records and the men tallied two program records on Saturday at Utica College's Doris & Walt Miga Invitational at the UC Sports & Recreation Dome.
 
The quartet of freshman Jordan Sloan (Central Square, N.Y./Bishop Grimes), sophomores Bethia Nivens (Latham, N.Y./Shaker) and Rachael Miller (Baldwinsville, N.Y./C.W. Baker) and junior Meg Hubregsen (Honeoye Falls, N.Y./Honeoye Falls-Lima) set a pair of program records on the afternoon. The team won the 4x200-meter relay by registering a program-record time of 1:49.62. The time is 1.64 seconds faster than the previous mark, which was set two weeks ago at St. Lawrence. They closed out the meet by placing second in the 4x400-meter relay with a time of 4:10.93. The time was 0.97 seconds faster than the previous top time, which was set at last year's Northeast-10 Conference Championships.

Sophomore Brittney Mack (Poestenkill, N.Y./Averill Park) registered two NE10-qualifying performances, including one program-record mark. She broke her own program record of 5:29.47 in the one-mile run by placing fourth with an NE10-qualifying time of 5:27.90.
