Four UHSP Records Toppled on Day 2 of Prin Relays

Results

ELSAH, ILL. – After an historic Day 1 at the Principia College Relays on Friday, the Eutectic men's and women's track and field teams travelled back across the Mississippi on Saturday to break more school records on Day 2 of the meet. Emerald Flores, Hannah Nation, Leah Macon-Ford, and Amari Wiedemeier each broke UHSP records at the indoor meet.  

MEET HIGHLIGHTS:

WOMEN

  • Hannah Nation shattered the nine-year-old UHSP school record by nearly 10 seconds in her first collegiate indoor 3,000m race. She crossed the finish line in fourth place of 17 runners at 11:18.70. The new record time bests Janki Patel's 11:27.68 from 2017.
  • Emerald Flores set a new school record in the 500m, finishing fourth of 13 runners with a time of 1:27.42, breaking Laila Wells' UHSP set in 2025 by .38 seconds.
  • After qualifying for nationals in the 60m prelims on Friday, Leah Macon-Ford returned to the track on Saturday to set yet another UHSP record – this time in her first attempt at the 300m distance. Her third-place time (of 24 competitors) of 43.23 smashed the previous UHSP record of 46:10 set by Flores back in 2024. Flores, along with teammate Shamari Long, also bested her previous record in the race on Saturday with times of 45.72 and 45.05, respectively.
  • Macon-Ford also repeated her first-place finish in the prelims of the 60m dash in the finals on Saturday. She was the top finisher of the eight sprinters in the finals at 7.68 seconds, beating out second-place by .07 seconds.   
  • Rylee Eng leaped 10.47m (34' 4.25") in the finals of the women's triple jump for a fifth-place finish of 14 jumpers in the event. Campbell Powell's leap of 9.80m (32' 2") puts her among the UHSP All-Time Top-Five in the event.  
  • Mariah Scott qualified for the finals of the 60m hurdles on Friday, then returned to run a time of 10.55 in the finals on Saturday for an eighth-place finish in the event. Paulina Gutierrez-Trejo recorded a personal-best in the prelims with a time of 10.66 for 11th place.

  • Competing in his first collegiate 500m race, freshman Amari Wiedemeier broke the Eutectic record by nearly two seconds. His new record-time of 1:10.29 was good enough for 12th place (of 27) at the meet and breaks Marlon Brown's UHSP record set in 2024.
  • After qualifying for the 60m-dash finals with a seventh-place record-breaking finish in the prelims on Friday, Evan McVey improved to fifth place in the finals on Saturday with a time of 7.12.
