FAIRFAX, Va. – James Madison track & field set five personal records at the George Mason Last Chance Meet inside the George Mason Field House on Sunday.

Junior Nora Raher led the way for the Dukes, winning the 3,000-meter run in dominating fashion. Raher completed the race in a personal-best 10:00.06, over 30 seconds faster than second-place Sarah Richart of George Mason. After converting from a flat to a banked track, Raher's time qualifies her for the ECAC Championships.

Senior Tessa Mundell qualified for the ECAC Championships in the 1,000-meter run with a personal best time of 2:53.68, good for a third-place finish.

Freshman Sahna Sabbakhan placed sixth in the 400-meter dash with a time of 1:01.72. Sophomore Kelly Oler set a personal record in the event with a mark of 1:02.10, good for a 10th-place finish.

Sophomore Jantsen Wilson significantly improved on her personal best in the triple jump, recording a mark of 11.39 meters (37'4.5") to finish fourth.

Freshman Emma Hubbard rounded out JMU's personal records with a ninth-place finish in the 800-meter run in 2:27.27.

QUOTING COACH FRIAS
"This is a great meet to take a smaller travel group and they responded well. We had quite a few personal bests and Nora qualified in the 3K once the conversion from flat to banked track is calculated. I'm pleased with how we performed."
