NEW YORK -- University of Delaware runners set three school records and tied another at the New York University Last Chance Meet Friday night at the Armory Track and Field Center.

The Delaware women set three of the records led by freshman Mandy Stille who shattered the UD long jump record as she finished second overall with a leap of 18-10 3/4, breaking the mark of 18-1 1/4 set by Angel Rollins in 1998 and surpassing her previous best of 17-8 3/4 earlier this season. Stille also placed third in the 60 meter hurdles Friday night.

She matched the record of 7.88 by Daniella Price set last year. Wright also placed eighth in the 400 meters with a time of 58.24 on Friday.

The Delaware men set a freshman record in the 4 x 800 meter relay as the team of Mike Zeberkiewicz, Mike Roth, Brad Dodson, (right) and Kyle Schmid ran to a time of 7:58.12 to place fifth, breaking the UD mark set back in 1991.
