LYNCHBURG, Va. – The University of Pennsylvania track and field programs competed at a pair of two-day events this weekend, with most of the team taking their talents to the Darius Dixon Memorial at Liberty while a handful of women sprinters went further south to the Tiger Paw Invitational at Clemson.
 
Between the two meets, five more program records fell while the Singapore national mark in the high jump was reset again.

A successful trip for five women's sprinters to Clemson resulted in two program records.

On Saturday, the 4x400m relay team of Christiana Nwachuku, Jocelyn Niemiec, Isabella Whittaker, and Aliya Garozzo put together a third-place performance of 3:29.86, setting the new bar in program history as well as in Ivy League history.
