The University of Louisville track & field teams closed out the final day of their regular season on Saturday with the squads taking part in competition at the Don Kirby Elite Invitational, Heartland Invitational, Husky Classic, and Music City Challenge.

Detailed highlights from all four meets can be found below.

DON KIRBY ELITE INVITATIONAL
Results

The Cards saw the program record in the women's pole vault fall to highlight the Don Kirby Elite Invitational, as Ashley Callahan and Iliana Triantafyllou posted matching clearances of 4.50m (14-9) to earn a pair of top-five finishes in the invitational section of the event.

The mark raises the previous record of 4.48m (14-8) that was set by Callahan at the Bellarmine Open on Jan. 16. With their performances in Albuquerque, the duo becomes the first pair of teammates this season to both clear the 4.50m mark while also moving them into a tie for fifth nationally among marks entering the weekend.

Lydia Stuart also notched a personal record in the women's vault, moving up to seventh in school history with a bar of 4.25m (13-11.25).

Along with their stellar performance on the pole vault runway, the Cardinals dominated in the sand pit, with Miller Jones and Roman Kuleshov earning third and fourth, respectively in the men's triple jump and Alba Cuns Iglesias placing third for the women.

Jones put together a personal-best leap of 15.93m (52-3.25) that ranks fifth in program history, while Kuleshov posted a mark of 15.91m (52-2.5) to finish just behind his teammate. Cuns Iglesias narrowly missed out on improving her own program record, notching a final mark of 13.14m (43-1.5).

HEARTLAND INVITATIONAL
Results

At the Heartland Invitational in Indianapolis, Johnny Sabinski won the men's shot put with a mark of 16.76m (55-0) on his final attempt of the competition, while Kaia Tupu-South recorded a mark of 16.45m (53-11.75) to place seventh in a stacked field in the invitational section of the women's shot put.

Additionally, Breanna Braham doubled back after tying her own 400m program record last night, finishing just off her personal best in the women's 200m with a time of 24.53.

HUSKY CLASSIC
Results

The record-breaking weekend continued in Seattle at the Husky Classic as the Cards saw new program records set in the men's 5000m and women's mile.

Elsingi Kipruto continued his historic freshman campaign, finishing as the runner-up in the invitational section of the men's 5000m with a blistering time of 13:15.74 that moves him up to sixth in the NCAA thus far this season.

The time also knocked nearly 15 seconds off the previous program record of 13:29.37 that he set in his collegiate debut on the indoor oval on Dec. 6 at the Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener.

Lucinda Rourke also bettered her own school record in the women's mile, finishing third with a time of 4:36.85 that took roughly three seconds off the previous Louisville best of 4:39.65 that she set at the PNC Lenny Lyles Invitational on Jan. 31.

After etching her name in the record books last night in the women's 3000m Nancy Chepleting broke her second freshman record of the weekend, clocking a time of 4:44.44 that smashes her own record time of 4:49.68 from the PNC Lenny Lyles Invitational on Jan. 31.

In the men's mile, Leo Brewer moved up to third in program history in his Louisville debut, as the Yale transfer clocked a time of 4:02.53. Geoffrey Kirwa doubled back after a personal-best performance in the 3000m to cross the line in 4:06.22.

MUSIC CITY CHALLENGE
Results

The Cards capped off the Music City Challenge in Nashville with a pair of personal-best performances in the men's 800m. JB Terrill led the way, dipping under the sub-1:50 mark for the first time with a time of 1:49.79 that moves him into the top five in the Louisville record books. Josiah Hortin clocked a time of 1:50.89 to leap up to seventh in program history.
