OREM, Utah – Utah Valley's Everlyn Kemboi ran the 10th-fastest 10,000 meters in NCAA outdoor history at the Stanford Invitational while Habtamu Cheney and Joel Mendez also broke school records on Friday. Mendez also set a new Utah Valley school record in the men's 3,000-meter steeplechase while Cheney set the school record in the 10k by over 23 seconds. The Wolverines also had student-athletes competing at the Texas Relays and Texas State Bobcat Invitational, as well as the Mike Fanelli Track Classic at San Francisco State.

The All-American Kemboi broke her own school record in the process of cracking into the NCAA's Top 10, running the 10k in 32:03.30, while Mazzie Melaney Preston ran it in 32:37.73 for the No. 2 spot in the top 10. Both are the first two Wolverines to run the 10k in less than 33 minutes. Madison Flippence ran the second section of the 10k and finished in 34:18.06, which is a personal record and takes over the No. 5 spot on UVU's top 10. Utah's Emily Venters won the event while running the sixth-best time in NCAA history, finishing in 31:48.35. Former Wolverine student-athlete and All-American and current UVU assistant coach Hannah Branch also ran the race, doing so in 32:39.68 to finish 12th in the event. 
 
Cheney's 10k school record came in the final event of the night, with a time of 28:44.22. It's the first sub 29-minute 10,000 in program history. Mendez finished the 3k steeplechase in 8:39.77 to supplant All-American Trac Norris' previous record from 2016 (8:40.90). Adrian Jones was just behind Mendez, finishing in 8:42.79, which is now the No. 3 time in the school record book.
 
Paige Young sprinted into the top 10 at two different events at two different meets on Friday. At the Texas Relays, Young ran the 100-meter hurdles in 14.05 seconds, good enough for third all-time at UVU. She also ran the seventh-best 400-hurdle time in the top 10, finishing that race in 1:02.06.

Also in Austin, Kali McCuen ran the 100mH in 14.21 seconds, which is No. 8 in the top 10 at UVU, and Emma Newbold ran the sixth-best time the 100, finishing with a PR of 11.92 seconds. Ryan Tenn ran the men's 100 in 10.64 seconds, which ties him for No. 10 in the UVU record book.

At the Mike Fanelli Track Classic, Max Mahon and Ari Trimble both had UVU Top-10 finishes. Mahon ran the men's 5,000 in 14:19.95, which is seventh in the school top 10 and Trimble ran the 10th-best time in the women's 5,000, finishing in 16:46.26.
