She also set a new ODAC 2009 season-best time in the event, outpacing fellow Hornet Ashley Meyer (Springfield,MO/Glendale) who had set the mark at 23:44 earlier in the season. Meyer also beat the previous school record in the event as she placed 11th with a time 23:07. Meyer's previous career-best run occurred last year at this very event when she recorded a time of 23:22.
