A Win and a Record 

Published by David Kiefer/Stanford SID on January 29th, 2016

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Stanford’s men’s and women’s distance medley relay teams ran times among the fastest in collegiate history Friday at the Penn State National indoor track and field invitational and ensured qualifying spots for the NCAA Championships.

The Cardinal men’s quartet of Tom Coyle, Jackson Shumway, Justin Brinkley, and Sean McGorty set a school record of 9:27.27, the fifth-fastest in collegiate history, while finishing inches behind winner Penn State on the 200-meter banked Ashenfelter Track. It eclipsed 9:28.25 run on an oversized track by the 2013 quartet of Tyler Stutzman, Spencer Chase, Luke Lefebure, and Michael Atchoo.

The Cardinal women’s team of Claudia Saunders, Kristyn Williams, Olivia Baker, and Rebecca Mehra won its race in 10:54.58, the No. 8 collegiate time ever and the third-fastest by a Stanford team. Saunders, a senior, has been part of all three of those teams.

The DMR is contested in legs of 1,200, 400, 800, and 1,600 meters and is staple of collegiate indoor track and the signature event of the Stanford indoor tradition. Cardinal teams have combined for six NCAA titles – five by the men and one by the women – and 19 top-five finishes, with the Stanford women finishing second the past two years.
