Senior Victoria Mitchell and junior Ava Hutchinson turned in school-record performances to highlight Butler's participation in the Cardinal Invitational hosted by Stanford University on Sunday, May 1. The west coast competition concluded a busy weekend that saw the Bulldogs also visit the Penn Relays and host the Stan Lyons Invitational.
Mitchell broke her own school record in the 5,000 meter run with a time of 16:06.72 at Stanford. She placed eighth in the race, while breaking the Butler record of 16:28.59 that she set on the same track earlier this season.
Hutchinson placed first in the "B" section of the 1500 meter run in 4:23.77. That topped the school mark of 4:24.60 that she set earlier this year at the Mt. Sac Relays in California. Freshman Isabelle Stoate placed third in the "A" section of the 1500 meter run in 4:31.81.
