LYNCHBURG, Va. - The Lander Men's and Women's Track and Field teams set 12 new program best marks over the weekend while competing in the Liberty Open. This was the last tune-up for the Bearcats before the Peach Belt Conference Indoor Championships being held on February 17th.

Fuel ran 18:57 and now holds the records for the 5000m, 3000m, and mile, all of which were set this season. Chevalier added the 5k record to his 3k record set two weeks ago at the JDL Fast Track with a finish of 15:44.83.

On the infield, Yiddisha Lyles broke the shot put record with a throw of 9.88m, which was also good for third in the conference this season. Khalil Wright set a program-best mark of 12.56m, which was also good for fifth in the league this season.
