Two School Records Fall at UC Oliver Nikoloff Invitational
April 2, 2006
CINCINNATI - Freshman Luke Beuerlein and sophomore Ben Milroy were both outstanding in the 5000-meter run placing third and seventh, respectively, as the Xavier University men's and women's track teams competed at the UC Oliver Nikoloff Invitational on Saturday at Gettler Stadium. Beuerlein crushed his own school record while running 14:53.71 and Milroy ran a personal best time by over ten seconds (15:01.49). Freshman Clinton Womack established a school record in the 400-meter run with a time of 52.74, breaking the previous record of 53:39 set in 2005. In the women's 5000-meter run, senior Heather Stafford ran a personal best time of 18:30.03, besting her previous efforts by over 20 seconds. Sophomore Amanda Brown ran a season best time of 18:40.06 as she continues to work her way back to full strength following a runner-up finish at the 2005 Atlantic 10 Conference Cross Country Championships. Freshman Becky Clark ran the third fastest time in school history in the 1500-meter run with a time of 4:48.36. Clark's time is only three seconds off the longest standing track record at XU with Jenny Andrassy running a time of 4:45 in 2001. Xavier will be back in action on Friday, April 7, when the Musketeers travel to Columbus for day one of the two-day All-Ohio Championships at Ohio State University. -XU-
