GENEVA, Ohio - Xavier indoor track and field broke three school records and had 17 athletes set PRs at the SPIRE DI Invitational on Feb. 10-11. The two-day meet was hosted by the SPIRE Institute in Geneva, Ohio.

The Musketeers have set a school record in at least one event in every indoor meet this season, totaling 15 school records.

QUOTING COACH ORNER

"Both teams had another successful weekend. Overall, we had three school records and 17 of the 33 athletes set personal records. I thought we carried the momentum built from the Akron Invitational well and although we've been racing them a lot over the past month, they still look energized and ready to go. Over the next two weeks we're going to focus on rest and recovery to get ready for indoor BIG EAST."
