SCHOOL RECORDS SHATTERED

Mitchell would go on to run the best 800m time of her career in the championship round with a time of 2:01.73 - a new school record and the fifth-best time in the NCAA this season.
Junior Kyla Krawczyk broke the Eagles 400m hurdles record in the preliminary rounds, qualifying for the finals after crossing the line at 58.41. Krawczyk then topped her own performance in the final round, setting a new school record at 58.37.
BC's Female Rookie of the Year Sydney Segalla scored her first individual school record of her career in the 400m preliminaries - finishing 13th overall with a time of 53.85.
