WASHINGTON – The Georgetown University track & field teams competed at the Florida Relays on Thursday and Friday, hosted by the University of Florida. The races were held at the Percy Beard Track. Graduate student Josette Norris (Tenafly, N.J. / Tenafly) ran in the Stanford Invitational on Friday, hosted by Stanford.

Norris set an all-time mark in the 5,000-meter run invite notching a personal record of 15:46.75. That time is the fourth-fastest 5,000-meter time in program history.

At the relays, the men's squad ran in four different events throughout the two-day period, including the 200-meter dash, the 800-meter run, the 400-meter hurdles and the 4x400-meter relay.

All-American Ruach Padhal (London, Ontario / John Paul II Catholic) was the first from Georgetown to cross the line in a time of 1:49.0 finishing in 12th place. All-American Lawrence Leake (Huntington, N.Y. / Huntington) recorded a personal best time in the 400-meter hurdles finishing in 54.10, eclipsing his previous mark of 54.38.
