GREENSBORO, NC – Junior Jadyn Mullen won four events and broke two school records including one that was more than 20 years old as she led the Roberts Wesleyan University Women's Track and Field team at the semester opening Brockport Rust Buster meet over the weekend. She was named Monday as the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) National Athlete of the Week.
Mullen started the second semester schedule with a bang Saturday at the Brockport Rust Buster meet. The multi athlete won four events and set a pair of school records. She won the 60-meter hurdles in 9.45 seconds and had a winning time in the 500-meter race with a time of 1:19.59. The time ranks second all-time on the Roberts top-five list. In the jumps, Mullen broke a school record that was set back in 2004 with a leap of 5.58 meters (18' 3 ¾") and later broke a record she shared with pole vault coach Jenn Suhr as she cleared the 1.74-meter (5' 8 ½") bar to win her fourth event of the day. She is currently ranked No. 1 in the East region in the high jump and is No. 3 in the East in the long jump.
Roberts Track and Field is back in action Friday at the RIT Friday Night meet.
