POCATELLO, Idaho - Utah Valley finished its 2007 indoor track season in record fashion as the Wolverines broke two school distance records while a number of athletes set personal record marks.

"We're are very happy with this meet," UV associate head coach Kirke Adamson said. "It was a great way to finish our indoor season and carry momentum over to our outdoor season."

Utah Valley will send a partial team to the Weber State invitational next weekend to offially close out the indoor season.

The women's medley team highlighted all UV performances when they broke the school's record by nearly 20 seconds in cruising to a first place finish. Chelsea Baker ran the 400 meters, Alise Lindsey the 800, Chelsea Loss ran the 1200 and Karinne Bentley ran the 1600 meters in the Wolverines record-setting race. The team posted a time of 12:03.09, nearly 20 seconds better than the previous record of 12:22.30.

On the men's side, school and personal records fell as well. Although feeling under the weather, Chase Englestead broke the school mile record. Englestead beat former UV standout Joe Bendoski's record in the mile. Englestead ran the race in 4:10.62.

Not far behind him was Danny Moody who set a personal record in the mile with a time of 4:16.34. Moody also set a PR in the 3000 meters, running a 15:13.

After sending a partial team to Weber State next weekend, the Wolverines will have a month off before starting their outdoor track season.
