NEW HAVEN- UConn track & field wrapped up a busy weekend in their final competitions before the Indoor BIG EAST Championships .

Valentine Invite: Jenna Zydanowicz continued her standout final season at UConn, breaking the women's indoor school record in the 3000m with a time of 9:06.07. Malin Rahm also put together a strong performance in the 3000m with the 7^th fastest time in indoor program history with a time of 9:25.56. Sarah Trainor also joined the top-10 ranks, with the 7th best 1000m time in progam history (2:48.73)

Giegengack Invitational: Down in New Haven, Zayin Roe joined the top-10 ranks in the women's triple jump, with a jump of 12.50m. Also in New Haven, Sinclaire Fryer won the women's shot put (13.52m).

Kyle Johnson continued his strong season to anchor the second-ranked triple jump event squad, winning the event with a jump of 15.88m.

Director of Track and Field Beth Alford-Sullivan: "The weekend was challenging. We have had about a third of the team out with illness, and both meets at Yale and in Boston we missed a few late events due to the snow storm and leaving early for safety. With all of that we continued to put together some amazing results. We had a lot of wins and great performances at Yale and a huge school record by Jenna Zydanowicz in the women's 3k. We will get past the flu bug this week and be ready for the Big East Champs in 2 weeks."

Up Next: The Huskies will look to defend their BIG EAST crowns in two weekends at the BIG EAST Championships in Chicago from February 28th-March 1st.
