BLOOMINGTON, Ind.— Indiana Track & Field hosted Tennessee in their first meet back from winter break. The Hoosiers swept the Volunteers as the women won 67-55 and the men won 72-50.
It was a personal record setting day for Indiana as they saw three Hoosiers set new PR's throughout the day. Kelsey Harris was the first to set a record as she crossed first in the mile with a time of 4:48.99. On the men's side of the mile, Cooper Williams time of 4:04.55 not only set a personal record but it is also the best time in the NCAA so far this season.
In field events, Princess Brinkley notched a new personal record in the weight throw with a distance of 19.69m (64'07.25"). The redshirt sophomore placed second overall in the event. It was a record setting for Anna Watson in the pole vault, as she broke both a meet and personal record. The sophomore saw a height of 4:08m (13'4.5"). Khayla Dawson broke a 24-year-old meet record en route to taking first in the shot put with a throw of 16.53m (54'2.75").
On the men's side, Triple jumper Eric Bethea defended his NCAA-best mark as he took first with a distance of 15.86m (52'.5"). The junior still holds the NCAA best in the event so far this season.
Megan Grabowski was the first Hoosier to cross the finish line in the 200m as she ran a time of 25.47. Natalie Price had a strong showing in the 400m, marking the second fastest time in the NCAA (54.69). Grace Walther ran her first 3000m of the indoor season as she crossed the finish first in a time of 9:43.98.
Rikkoi Brathwaite picked up right where he left off as he led the field in the 60m dash in a time 6.77. Zubin Muncherji saw a first-place finish in the 400m with a time of 48.72.
The 4x400 meter relay squad consisting of Derek Grimmer, Cooper Williams, Adam Wallace, and Zubin Muncherji concluded the meet on a high note as they took gold in a time of 3:13.53.
In field events on the men's side, Adam Coulon had a season best in the pole vault as he notched a height of 5.30m (17'4.5"). In high jump, Jyles Etienne had a strong showing as he jumped to a height of 2.19m (7'1")
