She matched the record of 7.88 by Daniella Price set last year. Wright also placed eighth in the 400 meters with a time of 58.24 on Friday.

The Delaware men set a freshman record in the 4 x 800 meter relay as the team of Mike Zeberkiewicz, Mike Roth, Brad Dodson, (right) and Kyle Schmid ran to a time of 7:58.12 to place fifth, breaking the UD mark set back in 1991.
