RALEIGH, N.C. -- James Madison track & field had four Dukes produce top-10 program marks, while two broke school records on day two of the Raleigh Relays at the Paul Derr Track Facility.

Sophomore Holly Mpassy broke the school record in the 400-meter dash, crossing the finish line in 54.40 for seventh. Tyrah Burrow set the team's top time of 54.44 back in 2016 at the Colonial Athletic Association Outdoor Championships.

Meanwhile, freshman Asia Powell registered a program-best 100-meter dash time of 11.50. The Suffolk, Va. native crushed the previous time of 11.68, set by Tanique Carter in 2009. For Powell, she now owns three top-10 performances in the JMU record book across the indoor and outdoor seasons.

How It Happened

In section four of the 5000-meter competition, senior Laura Webb crossed the finish line in a personal-best 16:46.19. Previously, her PB was 17:45.82, set at the 2021 CAA Championships. Junior Miranda Stanhope ran in the eighth section of the event, finishing in 16:49.77. Webb's and Stanhope's times rank seventh and 10th in program history, respectively.
Sophomore Jordyn Henderson produced a season-best time of 14.05 in the 100-meter hurdles.
Freshman Kadence Wilson clocked in at 55.93 in the 400-meter dash, the fastest time for the first-year Duke across both the indoor and outdoor seasons.
