CLEMSON, S.C. – The Wofford track and field teams began the 2010 indoor season on a high note by setting eight school records and one freshman record at the Clemson Invitational January 8 and 9.

The Terrier freshman class performed well on both sides, establishing five of the eight school records as freshmen records also.

Also competing for the men, the team of Parker, Paul Vecchione, Mavrick Harris and Russell Baker established a school record time of 11:21.78 in the distance medley relay, improving on the record set last year by almost 15 seconds.

For the women, freshman Emily Gothberg set two school records, running a time of 64.44 in the 400 meter and a time of 28:31 in the 200 meter. Fellow freshman Niki Klasnic paced the team with a school record time of 2:29.76 in the 800 meter run and freshman Andrea Kelsey set a new record in the 3000 meter with a time of 10:38.40.

The women’s team of Klasnic, Gothberg, Kelsey, and Caroline Burdette also established a new record in the distance medley relay, finishing with a time of 12:53.80, beating the previous record set in 1998 by nearly two minutes.
