BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- One week removed from the men's 4x400 relay team breaking the program record with a 3:12.70, the foursome of Ade Lloyd, John Apel, Ryan Jones and Romaro Knight upped it with a 3:12.26 mark to highlight a solid day at the Indiana Invitational.

Last week's group had Camden Beatty instead of Jones, and this one featured three freshman in addition to the sophomore Knight.

Lloyd's success from Friday, as well as the whole season, continued Saturday beyond the relay. He clocked a 46.52 in the 400-meter, third in program history, to claim that title. In three collegiate meets, he has three wins and three school records (four if counting the two 4x400s). 

Davenae Fagan claimed the second of Cincinnati's two victories, doing so in the 400-meter. She also has the school record in both the indoor and outdoor edition of that event.

Fagan was also part of the women's 4x400 team that tied for fifth in school history with its 3:41.16 clip, running alongside Morgan Komolafe, Juliette Laracuente-Huebner and Macaela Walker.

Walker also earned a top-10 nod with a 39.11 mark in the 300-meter.

Cincinnati saw seven PRs by Walker (300m), Sarah Madix, Olivia Mundt (both mile), Isaac Shachleiter, Jacob Sebaugh (both 3,000m), Jayda Holbrook and Peyton Cherry (both 300m).

The Bearcats get a much-deserved rest for two weeks before returning to action in Louisville, its second time there, Jan. 30-31, for the PNC Lenny Lyles Invitational.
