NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Nyasia Dailey made MAAC history on Saturday afternoon, becoming the first woman in league history to crack the 7.40 barrier in the 60m dash, racing 7.39 to win the event at the Giegengack Invite at Yale.

The sprinter followed up her 7.45 in the prelims with yet another victory in the sprint race as she remains undefeated in the indoor season.

Another MAAC-topping time included Claire O'Sullivan in the 500m, who ran 1:16.15.

Talia Graham continued her strong winter, matching her indoor program record with a mark of 3.80m in the pole vault.
