ST. PAUL, Minn. - The Hamline women's track and field team finished the indoor portion of their season in impressive fashion on Saturday afternoon, with seven event wins and two school records broken in a tri-meet with Bethel and St. Catherine.
 
Junior Alexandra Maddux broke her own school record in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:13.35 that was good for a first-place finish. This time was over a second faster than her school record time she set last indoor season (2:14.78). Today's time also ranks first in the nation among Division III competitors.
 
Senior Helen Dolan also set a new school record in the 3000-meter run. Earlier this season she completed the 3000-meter run in 10:05.79, but in today's meet, Dolan became one of the country's five Division III athletes that ran it under 10 minutes, finishing in 9:57.02. This time won the event, set a new school standard, and currently ranks third in the nation.
 
Teammate Emma Mader also ran in the 3000-meter run, placing fourth with a time of 10:56.68, which was a new career-best for the junior.
