The App State women’s track and field team wrapped up their fourth event of the season Saturday at the Doc Hale Invitational in Blacksburg, Virginia.

Highlighting their efforts was a new program record in the women’s distance medley relay set by sophomore Jayla Adams, junior Addison Ollendick-Smith, senior Jasmine Donohue and senior Lauren Johnston. The team set a pace of 11:25.30 to finish second, beating the previous record set in 1999 by nearly 12 seconds.
