COLUMBIA, Mo. - The Tigers continued into day two of their busy meet weekend on Thursday (April 23), splitting between two of the premier meets of the season with the Drake and Penn Relays.  So far, the Tigers have earned five new personal records over the two days of the competition, including a new All-Time Top Ten performance from sophomore Kaitlyn Fischer.

Fischer, who owns the Mizzou Record in the 10,000m run (33:12.37) from the 2014 NCAA Outdoor Championships, now lands herself in the 5000m run record book after placing ninth during Thursday's evening's Drake Relays competition.  She timed through in 16:33.50, a 12-second improvement on her previous top time and the ninth-fastest time in school history.

Two other Tigers earned PR marks during Thursday's competition in Des Moines, Ia., including Liz Reida who started the day with a two-second improvement in the 800m run, finishing fifth in the field.  Her 2:08.74 crossing puts her within a second of the All-Time Top Ten list for the event.

In the women's 10,000m run, senior Courtney Brown barreled through her previous PR, clocking through in 35:54.06 for 13th overall.
