ALBUQUERQUE — Utah State’s women’s distance medley relay team broke the program’s all-time record as the Aggies opened up competition at the 2019 Mountain West Indoor Championships on Thursday at the Albuquerque Convention Center.
Seniors Megan Ryan, Shannon Maloney and Cierra Simmons-Mecham, along with junior Kasia Lawrynowicz, clocked a time of 11:31.69 to set the school record and place third in the meet. The previous record of 11:37.89 was set earlier this season by Ryan, Simmons-Mecham, junior Melanie Muncy and sophomore Karen Christensen.
“Collectively, they wanted to make the podium,” said USU head cross country coach Artie Gulden.
