Notre Dame, Ind. -- The University of Louisville men's and women's track teams both finished second at the Notre Dame Invitational on Saturday afternoon. The women finished second behind Michigan with 89 points while the men also finished behind Michigan with 86 points. Overall, the team finished with nine wins on the day and 25 top five finishes.

"The Notre Dame Invitational is continuing to develop into a high level team challenge," said head coach Dale Cowper. "The addition of Virginia and North Carolina to this year's competition created a challenging environment across all event areas. I'm excited about the way our squads competed today. We need to continue building momentum and team synergy throughout January and early February as we prepare for the championship segment of our indoor season beginning in late February with the ACC Indoor Championships and continuing toward the NCAA Championships in mid-March."

Raven Grant led the women with two wins today in the 60 meters and the 200 meters. It was the first wins of the season for the sophomore, winning the 60 meters with a time of 7.51 and the 200 meters with a time of 24.21. Damar Robinson led the men with two wins as well. Robinson won the high jump for the second straight week, clearing 2.16m/7-01. He won the triple jump with a season best mark of 15.80m/51-10.

Dolly Nyemah won her first weight throw of the season. She threw a season best of 21.40m/70-2.50 to win the event over teammate Emmonnie Henderson. The throw was also a fieldhouse record. Henderson won the shot put for her second win in the event this indoor season. She finished with a throw of 16.72m/54-10.25.

Bre'Yana Wash won her first long jump of the indoor season. She finished with a jump of 6.01m/19-8.75 for the win over teammate Alexis Gibbons. Teague Peck won the 600 meters with a career best time of 1:17.69. The time breaks his previous school record of 1:18.29 set at last year's Notre Dame Invitational.

Eric Fox set the second school record of the day with a win in the men's pole vault. Fox cleared 5.15/16-10.75 for a career best mark, breaking Kyle Gann's record of 5.10m/16-8.75 set at the 2011 Big East Championships.

The Cardinals will be back in action next weekend at the IU Relays.
