BOSTON — Graduate student Emily Young rewrote the record books on Saturday afternoon, breaking the school's 1000m mark at the John Terrier Classic, hosted by Boston University.

The Camillus, N.Y., native clocked in at 2:50.13, besting the previous record by over two seconds, held by Medinah Nabadduka.

The Bobcats as a team recorded seven, Top 10 finishes across track and field events, as well as accumulated six different performances that landed the squad on the Top 10 list.

Both Rylie Smith and Young tallied the best times in the MAAC for their respective events, as Smith clocked in at 56.22 in the 400m, while Young's time in the 1000m puts her best in the conference with the Championships under a month away.

Alessandra Zaffina ran the fastest time in the 3000m since 2006, finishing in 9:42.99. It is 0.10 seconds ahead of Emily Wolff's from Feb. 8, 2019.
