Junior Christopher Short continued his winter run through the Muhlenberg track and field record book at the Widener Indoor Classic.

Short ran the 400 meters in 47.99 seconds at UPenn's Ott Center, breaking the 15-year-old school record by 0.68 seconds. It was the fourth school record in the last three weeks for Short, who previously put his name at the top of the lists in the 200, 500, and 4x400 relay. The clocking also broke the Centennial Conference record, which had been set just last week.

Short placed second to a Division II runner and lowered his personal best in the 400 from 49.59; the new mark ranks in the top 20 in Division III this season. He also set a personal best in the 60 meters, clocking in at 6.98 in both the prelims and final and drawing closer to yet another school record (currently at 6.92).

Other Mule highlights included:

• Senior Shira Gamson (pictured above right) set indoor personal bests in both the long jump (16-8) and the triple jump (36-1½). She finished sixth among Division III athletes in the long and second in the triple.

• Junior Maya Richwine ran a season-best 8.92 seconds inthe prelims of the 60-meter hurdles. That mark ranks in the top 25 in Division III this season.

• Senior Lauren Siesky tied her personal best of 8.21 in the 60 meters.

• Senior Matthew Hajel (pictured above left) lowered his PR in the 3000 meters by more than 9 seconds, from 9:03.63 to 8:54.26, missing the top 10 on the performance list by just a hundredth of a second.
