RIPON, Wis. – The Lakeland University men's and women's track & field teams set four more school indoor records at the Dick Hendricks Invite hosted by Ripon College Saturday.

Noah Lutzke (So.-Orfordville, Wis.) set a distance running record for the third straight meet and Travis Eitel (So.-Pine Island, Minn.) bettered his school record in the 60-meter hurdles. The Muskies posted a pair of relay records in a solid day where the men's team scored 21 points and the women's team totaled 16 points.

Lutzke set a new school mark in the men's 3,000, chopping more than 15 seconds off of the previous record held by Kassahun Lehman and finishing third in 9 minutes, 22.07 seconds. He also was part of the 1,600 sprint medley relay along with Eitel, Sam Scharenbroch (So.-Sheboygan, Wis.) and Jaylen Rido (Sr.-Houston, Texas) that set a new school best of 3:52.70.

Eitel also lowered his top school mark in the 60 hurdles, taking more than four tenths off with his finish in 10.18. Lakeland also saw a new record set in the women's sprint medley, with Sahara Gardner (So.-Kewaunee, Wis.), Mya Fettes (Jr.-Johnsburg, Ill.), Kayla Bruton (Sr.-Milwaukee, Wis.) and Nathalie Cairo (Sr.-Kenosha, Wis.) finishing in 4:50.34.

The Muskies also recorded eight more personal records led by Bruton, who finished second in the 400 with a time of 1:02.27, lowering her best by almost a second. Gardner also cut more than a second off her previous best by finishing 14th in the 200 with a time of 29.46, and Fettes slashed more than eight seconds off her previous top mark in the 800, also finishing 14th in 3:01.28.
