⚡️ SCHOOL RECORD
For the second straight year at NCAAs the #Gophers 4x100m relay team sets a new school record. 43.78 won't be enough to advance to the final, but we'll see where our All-Americans finish this season after the next two heats are completed. #SkiUMah
Odell Frye, Lauren Hansen, Akilah Lewis and Amira Young finish as Honorable Mention All-Americans with a 17th-place finish in the 4x100m relay.
The school record of 43.78 improves the quartet from 20th-place in 2022 to 17th this year. #SkiUMah
Amira Young finishes fourth in her 200m heat with a 23.05 (+0.5 m/s), the second fastest time of her career in the event!
She'll have to wait out the next two heats to see if she has reached the #ncaaTF final.

After a stellar indoor campaign @amiraaa_y matched it with an incredible outdoor season.
