TicketsCINCINNATI -- One day after Juliette Laracuente-Huebner broke the long-jump record, the Cincinnati track and field team witnessed a youth movement with the 4x400 relay team taking over the top spot, a group with two freshmen and a sophomore.
That foursome included Ade Lloyd (who in his debut claimed the school's 300-meter crown), John Apel, Camden Beatty and Romaro Knight, notching a 3:12.70 mark.
Gianni Allwein captured the mile title with a 4:08.17 mark, giving UC three on the weekend after Annika Kinley and Kya Epps on Friday.
Also in action, though straight down south in Tallahassee, Fla., was Abby Sewell in the World Athletics Cross Country Championships. She finished 33rd in the field, and third among all Americans, at 21:23 in her 5K.
Not to be outdone by the men, the women's 4x400 team produced the No. 9 time of the season, en route to third in the Bearcats record books, with a 3:39.78 clip. Davenae Fagan, Morgan Komolafe, Kya Epps and Macaela Walker keyed that bunch.
Gwen Stare (3,000m) and Omolola Kuponiyi (shot put) also reached ninth and 10th in the school record books on Saturday.
Freshman Rafiq Washington was also 10th in the triple jump in his college debut. Sarah Madix and Mackenzie Steele's miles were also PRs, giving UC three for the week.
Overall, the Bearcats netted seven top-10 record book entries.
