GAINESVILLE, Fla.- During the first day of the prestigious Pepsi Florida Relays filled with 10 women's nationally ranked teams, sophomore Rebecca Parker set a career-best time in the 3000 meter steeplechase, which broke the all-time best record in Georgia Southern history.
"The Florida Relays has a long and strong tradition of great athletic performances that happen there," head coach Kelly Carter said. "Our team went there and competed well and it was great for Rebecca to come away with the school record."
In the meet, her time of 11:28.30 was good for 18th out of the country's elite which beat her time at the UNF Spring Break Invite last weekend by almost 30 seconds.
