SOUTH BEND, Ind. - The IUPUI duo of Katelyn Murphy and Morgan Fleming continued their assault on the Jaguars' record book on Friday (Oct. 4) as the Jaguars participated in the notoriously fast Joe Piane Notre Dame Invitational under near ideal conditions at the Warren Golf Course. Murphy broke the program's 5K record by four seconds by crossing in a time of 17:33.52 and Fleming also went under the previous school record, finishing in a time of 17:36.55. 

With that duo at the top of the IUPUI lineup, the Jaguars placed 12th of 25 teams in the Gold Division of the meet, finishing with 322 points, tops among the four Horizon League teams in the race. Murphy placed 20th overall of 193 numbers and Fleming was just behind her in 23rd place. 

"Today was fun. I got out hard and did my best to stay mentally tough while working side-by-side with Morgan. Morgan pushes me to be great and I'm so thankful to have her as a teammate. We're better together," Murphy said. "A lot of our girls had breakthrough races and we got a glimpse of all the hard training we've been putting in. It was so awesome to see us all click together for this meet. 

"Jean in particular finally had her breakthrough moment and I'm so excited to see what's to come for her. We have a dedicated bunch of girls on this team and I'm eager to see what's to come for this Jag pack."

All eight Jaguars in the lineup registered new personal best times as junior Janine Orvis shed 19 seconds off her prior best, clocking a time of 18:12.55 to place 62nd overall. Freshman Ashton Chase took 41 seconds off her previous best with a time of 18:39.42 and classmate Claire Mehling ran a time of 18:53.35, taking 22 seconds off her previous best. 

Junior Jean Carson sliced 42 seconds off her previous best with a time of 19:05.81 and freshman Kara Krol spun a time of 19:32.37. Freshman Sydney Welch posted a time of 19:35.28. 

In the open race, Paige Boatright led the two entries with a time of 19:36.03 and freshman Rebecca Orvis ran a personal best time of 20:39.04. 

Cal State Fullerton just edged Miami (Ohio) for the Gold Division title, just ahead of Clemson (153), Wyoming (164) and Akron (183). Clemson's Logan Morris won the individual title in a time of 16:49.48 and UTEP's Winny Koech was second at 16:55.86. 

The Jags will return to action on Oct. 19 when they participate in the Under Armour Pre-Nationals Invitational in Terre Haute, Ind.
