SOUTH BEND, Ind. - The IU Indy men's track team continued its record breaking weekend on Saturday (Jan. 31) as the Jaguars reset school records in both the 800m and mile at Notre Dame's Meyo Invite. It was the third new school record of the weekend as the Jaguars also broke the distance medley relay record on Friday. 

On Saturday, sophomore Joey Ashman blew past the school record in the 800m event, winning the open division with a time of 1:50.78. Teammate Liam Lilly paced him early on, helping Ashman break the previous school record by three seconds. 

"It was a big time race for the win," interim head coach Justin Amburgy said. "(Ashman) says he felt like he had some left in the tank as well. GVSU and conference should be fun to see for him."

"It feels good to lead the boys this weekend with multiple school records from us all," Ashman said. "Season's not over though - we've got work to do."

In the mile, junior Luke Shappell broke the school record with a time of 4:07.19, going more than a full second under the previous best mark and lowering his personal best by three seconds. Sophomore Riley Nixon ran a similarly fast time, finishing one-hundredth of a second off Shappell's number at 4:07.20. 

Freshmen Eli Oetken and Evan Farmer ran their first collegiate indoor miles, finishing at 4:13.05 and 4:23.35, respectively. 

The Jaguars will return to racing next weekend when they compete in the Fairgrounds Invitational on Feb. 6-7.
