BOSTON -- Mount Holyoke track and field finished off the 2024-25 indoor season in style on Saturday, as the Lyons broke their third team relay record in nine days, placing fifth in the 4x800 relay at the all-divisions NEICAAA Championships, held at the Reggie Lewis Center.
Senior Greta Trapp (La Crosse, Wis.), sophomore Dalia Luckhardt (Cerritos, Calif.), first-year Sachi Robinson (Staten Island, N.Y.), and senior Kim Beaver (Agawam, Mass.) finished the race in 9:38.46 -- 6.02 seconds under the former record of 9:44.48 set by Sydney Nash, Corrin Moss, Emme Cronin, and Simone Jacob in 2019.
The four team points from the 4x800 combined with the four points Mount Holyoke scored in the distance medley relay on Friday to place the Lyons in a three-way tie with the University of New Haven and Rhode Island College for 12th place among 23 scoring teams.
Mount Holyoke competed in two other events on Saturday, the second of the two-day meet.
Sophomore Ioanna Tsoni (Athens, Greece) placed 19th among 29 athletes in the 60 hurdles trials with her time of 9.32 seconds.
In the triple jump, junior Elle Rimando (Mililani, Hawaii) "barely" fouled on all three of her otherwise outstanding attempts, according to head coach Jay Hartshorn.
The performance comes a day after MHC set the DMR team record, and nine days after the Lyons broke the team 4x200 relay record at the New England Division III Championships.
Robinson has been a constant in all three record-setting relays. Trapp and Beaver enter the team record book for the second time in as many days, and Luckhardt enters her name into the record book for the first time.
The Lyons now turn their attention to the outdoor season, which begins with the Wesleyan University Swanson Classic on March 22.
