TicketsNASHVILLE, TENN. –The University of Cincinnati track and field team had the top collegiate finishers in both the men's and women's triple jumps on the final day of events at the Music City Challenge in inside the Vanderbilt Multipurpose Facility.
Mitxelena was the top collegiate finisher in the triple jump with a school-record mark of 13.17m. She beat Rebecka Abrahamsson's 2016 UC record of 13.07m and bested her own 2017 personal best of 12.88m. Her jump is the best mark in the American Athletic Conference this season and sits as the No. 12 leap in the NCAA this indoor campaign.
Wright won the triple jump, hitting a PR and bettering his own UC No. 2 mark. Wright had a best leap of 15.57m, which betters his PR of 15.31m, set earlier this year. Al Lanier's school-record mark of 15.99m has stood since 1972. It's the second-best jump in the American this season and the No. 31 mark in the NCAA.
On the weekend, two school records fell (men's 5,000m and women's triple jump), the Bearcats set 31 personal bests and recorded 23 all-time Top-10 times.
//TWO SCHOOL RECORDS FALL
In addition to Mitxelena's triple jump effort Saturday, Aaron Bienenfeld broke his own UC record in the 5,000m on Friday night. The junior ran a PR of 14:08.81, placing third and besting his own UC record by five seconds. He clocked 14:13.82 in 2018, which had broken Eric Finan's school record from 2011.
//DASHING THROUGH NASHVILLE
Quincy Mitchell ran a PR and UC No. 8 time of 6.89 in the 60m dash preliminaries but did not qualify for the final as he finished second in his heat and was edged out on time. Chris Borzor won his heat with a PR and UC No. 10 clocking of 6.90 and went on to the finals and blasted a 6.83, another PR and a tie for UC's all-time No. 3 time.
For the women's team, Caisja Chandler ran the same PR and UC No. 5 time of 7.53 in both the prelims and finals of the 60m dash.
//HURDLING THE STOPWATCH
Arthur Greenlee ran 7.93 in the prelims for the 60m hurdles, the fourth-fastest time in school history and an improvement on his previous PR of 7.98. Connor Duricky set a pair of PRs in the event, clocking 8.05 in the prelims and 8.00, the fifth-best UC time ever, in the finals.
For the women's team, Angelica Lightfoot ran 8.52 and 8.48 in the prelims and finals of the 60m hurdles, respectively. Both times were personal bests with her prelims effort ranking No. 7 in school history and her finals time bettered that as the No. 4 mark in the Bearcats record book.
//MARKEL'S MAGICAL MILE
In the women's mile, Hannah Markel became the fourth Bearcats runner to break the five-minute barrier, clocking a PR of 4:58.66 which ranks as the second-best time in UC history. Markel bested her previous season best of 5:11.05 by over 12 seconds and broke her PR of 5:02.29 by almost four seconds. Lianne Masquelier ran a PR and UC No. 8 time of 5:05.05 in the race.
//VAULTERS CLIMBING PERFORMANCE CHARTS
Allie Plybon cleared 4.03m in the women's pole vault to place sixth, a PR and the sixth-best effort in UC history. Rachel Coghill tied for ninth, getting over the bar at 3.88m which was a PR and the No. 10 mark ever for the Bearcats. Brooke Catherine finished in a tie for 11th with her season-best effort of 3.88m.
