Seniors Addie Mathis and Lexy Henrikson pushed each other to record-breaking performances this season.
The duo each broke records during the indoor season with Mathis claiming the 800-meter run in a time of 2:10.40, while Henrikson nabbed the mile run record time at 4:54.57. At the GLVC Indoor Track & Field Championships, those two, along with Phoebe Canatsey and Raina Baker, achieved the time for the record in the distance medley relay at 11:36.69.
Mathis was the GLVC indoor champion in the mile run and the GLVC outdoor champion in the 1,500-meter run.
Moving to the outdoor season, Mathis pushed past Henrikson to grab the record in the 1,500-meter run at 4:28.52 and on the next day out in California, put her name on the outdoor 800-meter run with a time of 2:10.69.
Thrower Hayden Long matched one of the longest-standing records on the men’s outdoor track and field board this spring. Long threw the javelin 62.10 meters during a meet at the University of Central Missouri in April. That throw tied Mark Sissom’s 1977 record.
