School Record Falls, Multiple Other All-Time Top Tens on Final Day of Split Weekend

The Maryland track and field team concluded their three-meet split weekend on Saturday, with Eric Albright, Tolu Akinduro, and Kevin Collins highlighting the second day of competition.
 
In the 800m in Boston, Albright set a school-record becoming the first Terp ever to run sub 1:50 indoor, crossing the finish line with a time of 1:49.82. He broke a record previously set by Daniel Trettel in 2016 and improved on his previous best time of 1:50.78, which he set a year ago this weekend and was third all-time in school history. 
 
Akinduro moved up to number four all-time in school history with her 12.49m triple jump at Clemson, marking the longest women's triple jump for a Terp in a decade, and just the fourth female Terp ever to break 12.40m. 
 
Collins etched his name in the record books again this weekend, running a blistering 21.74 in the men's 200m at Clemson, moving him into the number six spot in school history in the event. This the third time and third different event that Collins has written his name in the record books for.

  • Madison Depry moved into eighth all-time in school history in the women's 300m at Liberty, going sub-40 seconds with a time of 39.96
  • Rhys Allen set another new personal best in the men's shot put at Clemson, throwing 17.16m, which moves him into tenth-all time in school history

Coach's Comments:
"This weekend was a good opportunity for the squad to focus on their individual events and tune up with new personal bests at various locations. These performances show all of the work they have put in up to this point."

Next Up: The Terps will be in Annapolis next weekend for Navy Select, which will be the final indoor meet for Maryland before Big Ten and NCAA Indoor Championships.
