In Boston, Edna Chelulei claimed her second school record of the indoor season with one of the top times in the nation in the 3,000 meters with a time of 8:52.79.
 
Chelulei took her first school record back in December in Boston with a time of 15:42.14 in the 5,000m.
 
Back in the Commonwealth, fresh off being named the ASUN Freshman of the Week, Metrine Serem ran her first 800m of the season, finishing 6^th in a time of 2:13.01, putting her less than four seconds away from cracking the top-five all-time at EKU.
