In 1994, North Central's Dan Mayer established a mark in the 5000 meters (13:53.17) that stood as the DIII standard for 29 years. On Saturday afternoon, two runners bettered that time as UW-Whitewater's Christian Patzka (13:49.04) edged UW-La Crosse's Ethan Gregg (13:52.29) in record time to win the Midwest Elite Invitational event. And hours later, John Carroll's Alex Phillip topped that time, finishing in 13:44.98 in Boston. The Loras men's distance medley relay set a new DIII standard, hitting the tape in 9:39.80 to take nearly two seconds off the old mark. The team of Wyatt Kelly, Ted Kruse, Mike Jasa and Ryan Harvey established the mark at the David Hemery Boston University Valentine Invitational. The Rowan 4x400 relay of Nana Agyemang, Jah'mere Beasley, Marquise Young and Amara Conte took down a 19-year-old DIII record with a time of 3:10.09 - bettering the old mark by a second. On the women's side, the Mount Union 4x200 relay of Kennady Gibbins, Madison Miles, Taylor Cupp and Kenadee Wayt broke the Division III record by over a second with a time of 1:40.25 at D3 All-Ohio championships.
