Rodriguez Sala sets school's 3000m record, Louis wins men's 3000m run
JONESBORO, Ark. – Junior Martina Rodriguez Sala set a University of Memphis women's indoor 3000m record, and senior Corentin Louis and Matthew Viveiros placed first and second, respectively, in the men's 3000m to highlight the Tigers' Friday action at the A-State Invitational.
The A-State Invitational continues Saturday, with day-two schedule of events starting at 9 a.m. (CT).
Rodriguez Sala continued her impressive 2015-16 campaign Friday when she set the school 3000m indoor mark with a time of 9:45.42. She placed second in Friday's 3000m.
She bested the previous school record by more than two seconds. Rodriguez Sala broke the record held by Danielle Reindeau, who ran a 9:47.70 in 2006.
This past fall, Rodriguez Sala earned All-American Athletic Conference honors with her fourth-place finish at the league's cross country championships. Her fourth-place performance was the best in Tigers women's cross country history. Last spring, Rodriguez Sala set the school's outdoor 1500m record.
Sophomore Chelsea Ladd was the second-highest finisher in the women's 3000m with a personal-best time of 10:19.77.
On the men's side, Louis and Viveiros took the 3000m run's top-two spots. Louis was first in a personal-best time of 8:33.14, and Viveiros cross the finish line behind Louis in a time of 8:46.95.
In other action, senior Sydney Wright placed second in the women's long jump with a mark of 18-10.5. Nicole Lawson was ninth in the long jump (17-2.75). For the men, Jordan Wesner was eighth in the long jump (20-11.75).
