NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A pair of program records fell in the final meet before the MAAC Championships on Saturday afternoon, as Talia Graham made history and the 4x400 relay surpassed the mark they had been so close to previously this season.

The first-year pole vaulter, Graham, marked 3.65m at the Cox Cage, setting a new Quinnipiac mark in her first season on campus, besting her previous best mark of 3.60m, also done at Yale in the first indoor meet of the season.

The relay squad bested the previous mark by 1.26 seconds, as Izzie Anzaldo, Sydney Lavelle, Alyssa Romagnoli and Rylie Smith ran past the record that had been set for five years.

All in all, the Bobcats recorded six, top 10 finishes and a pair of MAAC-best performances as they head into the Championships next weekend at The Armory.

TOP 10 PEFORMANCES

Anzaldo also climbed into the top 10 chart in the 60-meter run, clocking in at 7.71 which is good for fourth in program history.
Isabel Wheeler bested her previous run in the 60m hurdles, finishing the race in 9.04 to bump her up to sixth all-time.
Claire O'Sullivan recorded her first top 10 performance as a Bobcat, finishing the 500m race in 1:16.53, which places her sixth all time.
Lauren Fadairo matched her 1.55m mark in the high jump, which keeps her tied for ninth in program history.
Graham jumped Erin Brennan's outdoor record of 3.62m to take top spot in the overall pole vault chart. The previous indoor record was help by teammate Olivia DeBellis, who hit 3.60m in last year's MAAC Championships.
The 4x400 relay team bested a record that had stood for close to five years, and is the first team in program history to crack the 3:46 timestamp.
