PHILADELPHIA - Rachel Butler set the school record in the 10,000-meter run on Thursday night at the Penn Relays at Franklin Field.
She placed fourth in the race, posting a time of 34:07.02. She was racing in the 10,000-meter run at a track meet for the first time in her career.
The previous record was held by Clare Fischer who posted a time of 34:21.20 at the 2014 Mt. SAC Relays.
