ANNAPOLIS, Md. - It was a cold and rainy couple of days for 2022 Patriot League Outdoor Track Championships this weekend, but the American University squad still finished out with some exciting performances, including 10 new personal records and a pair of new program top-10 marks from junior
Nia Holden and the women's 4x400-meter relay.
#AUTF NOTES
- Juniors Tucker Zullo and Nathan Reeves were the first to qualify into an event final, coming through in fourth and fifth in their heat, respectively. Zullo picked up three points in Saturday's final, nudging just under his personal record with a 3:52.12 crossing for sixth in the field.
- Junior Russell Sullivan also picked up a point for the men's team with an eighth-place finish in the 5000m, crossing in 14:28.59 for a new career-best.
- On the women's side, Holden picked up a new PR and moved up to seventh all-time with her qualifying time of 2:14.76. She finished 10th in the final.
- The women's 4x400m relay also found themselves back in the program record book for the fourth time this season, hitting 4:12.19 for eighth-all time. The squad of Holden, senior Elise Hooker, sophomore Callia Cordasco, and freshman Lucia Ianello also own the fourth-fastest time in AU history with their 4:08.63 performance at the Bucknell Team Challenge in April.
