TAMPA, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University track & field team competed and succeeded at the USF Invitational on Saturday.

It was another on-point meet for the Owls, with two first place finishes and several more entries into the Florida Atlantic record books. After breaking the school record in her previous meet, Jessica Lambert again shined in the 800m to finish in first place, while Madlen Kappeler crushed the 5000m, winning by almost 30 seconds.

Quick Hits

Lambert took first place in the 800m with a time of 2:08.86 for the fourth best time in Florida Atlantic history
Kappeler's time of 17:20.64 in the 5000m was almost 30 seconds ahead of the next runner. Kappeler's time is also good for fourth in school history

Cara Simpson stood out in both the 100m and 200m. In the 100, she finished in fifth place with a time of 11.85 for the ninth best time in school history, followed by a 10th place finish in the 200 (24.33)
