LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Memphis Track & Field took down a pair of school records over the weekend at the PNC Lenny Lyles Invitational in Louisville at the Norton Health Care Sports and Learning Center. Madison Fleming broke a 13-year-old school record in the 60-meter hurdles and Cole Riddle broke his own school record in pole vault that he set at the Vanderbilt Invitational on Jan. 21.

"Madison [Fleming] really did an amazing job," Memphis Track & Field Head Coach Kevin Robinson said. "I'm proud of what she did and I'm extremely excited to see her continue to improve. Cole [Riddle] extended his school record for the second week in a row and further solidified his position at the NCAA Indoor meet in March. I expect to see him improve even more, which is just really special at this point. We had some other positive improvements, but we still have a long way to go to realize our true potential."

NOTABLES
• In the 60-meter hurdles, Madison Fleming took down a 13-year-old school record with her time of 8.36 in the prelims. Fleming finished fifth in the final with a time of 8.45, which also would have broken the record previously owned by Tayanna Simpson. Her time is currently fifth-fastest in the AAC and ranks inside the top-50 nationally.
• In men's pole vault, Cole Riddle's meet-winning vault of 5.58 meters (18'3.75") broke his own indoor school record that he set a weekend ago at the Vanderbilt Invitational. Riddle's mark is currently No. 8 in the NCAA and leads the American Athletic Conference (AAC). It was a lifetime PR for Riddle, both indoors and outdoors. Evan Puckett finished fifth with a 5.18-meter vault (17'0") and ranks fifth in the AAC.
