Tulsa runners earn 12 personal bests and one podium finish

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Junior Lianne Holtermann (Arnhem, Netherlands) and true freshman Joseph Snyder (St. Louis, Mo.) sprinted into the Tulsa record books by setting new program records in the women's and men's indoor 600-meter dash Friday at the Arkansas Invitational. Snyder finished in 1:18.99 and Holtermann dashed to a 1:31.82 mark.

Redshirt senior Shay McEvoy also set a sub-4-minute personal best in the mile run to earn a podium finish.

Golden Hurricane student-athletes combined for 12 personal bests and saw multiple newcomers hit the track.

Women
Holtermann took advantage of the rare event for Tulsa and beat the record by nearly four seconds. The previous record was set by Allison Bailey in 2020 at 1:35.88.

Kamree Dye (400m) and Sarah Hosey (1000m) each set new personal bests in their respective events, while Ailey Mitchell shaved 15 seconds off her mile record, finishing in 5:06.27.

Amy Morefield led the distance runners with a sixth-place performance in the 3,000m, setting a career-best at 9:47.66.

Men
Snyder set the 600m record in just his second-ever collegiate meet. Grey Howard held the previous record of 1:19.42, which was set in 2016.

McEvoy's 3:58.48 performance in the mile Friday will go down as the eighth all-time Tulsa sub-4-minute indoor mile and the second-fastest mile to date. He and teammate Sean Korsmo are the only active Tulsa men with a personal best indoor mile that's quicker than 4 minutes.

Chris Mcleod (fifth) and Luke Birdseye (ninth) joined McEvoy in top-10 territory for the mile.

McLeod led all TU harriers with an 8:12.27 showing for fourth in the 3,000m.
