BLACKSBURG, Va. – Radford track and field established 14 personal records Saturday at the Hokie Invitational hosted by Virginia Tech at Rector Field House.

Continuing her phenomenal weekend was Teresa Williamson, who a day after setting the school record for the women's mile ran the 800-meter race in a personal-best 2:16.51 to place fifth. Her time is the second fastest in the Big South and ranks fourth in program history. Jessica Shelton also delivered a PR in the event (2:40.94).

Madeline Thomas produced the fourth-fastest performance in the Big South for the women's 5,000 meters (19:09.93) to finish seventh. Malina Richardson and Courtney Burton covered the 600-meter dash in 1:49.06 and 1:50.33, respectively, to earn PRs.

On the men's side, Steven Graham charted a top-10 showing in the 400-meter dash. He crossed the line in 50.74 to place ninth.

Chaz Porter, Joey Hannah and Graham Schlickenmeyer achieved PRs in the 800-meter run, while Eric Graves posted a sixth-place showing in the 600-meter race with his 1:24.63.

In the 200-meter dash, Joseph Betts jetted around the track in 22.08, which is the second-fastest sprint in the Big South for the event this season. Right behind Betts was Vincent Wyatt, who clocked a personal-best 22.66 to place 16^th.

The Highlanders travel to Akron, Ohio for their next meet, the Akron Invitational, which is scheduled for Feb. 7-8 and hosted by the Zips at Stile Athletics Field House.
