LOUISVILLE, Ky. – University of Louisville track & field sophomore Lucy Fellows set a new program record in the women's heptathlon on Sunday as the Cardinals closed out the Jim Freeman/Clark Wood Invitational.

Over the course of the weekend, Fellows accrued a personal-best total of 5,625 points to finish as the runner-up while breaking the previous program record of 5,556 points that was set in 2017 by Holly Hankenson.

The score also moves the sophomore up to 10^th in the NCAA and second in the ACC thus far this season, putting her in prime position to qualify for June's NCAA Outdoor Championships.

In addition to her personal-best point total, Fellows also earned personal records in five of the heptathlon's seven events after recording marks of 14.35 in the 100m hurdles, 1.68m (5-6) in the high jump, 12.62m (41-5) in the shot put, 24.51 in the 200m, and 41.59m (136-5) in the javelin throw.

Maya Follmer also contested four of the seven heptathlon events over the last two days, setting three personal records of her own in the 100m hurdles with a time of 14.36, the high jump with a clearance of 1.59m (5-2.5) in the high jump, and a mark of 5.67m (18-7.25) in the long jump.

The Cardinals will close out the regular season next weekend when they split between Kentucky's Jim Green Invitational in Lexington, Ky. and Texas A&M's Alumni Muster in College Station, Texas from May 2-3.
