In her first outdoor action after an All-American effort in the indoor 800m, Academy of Art track & field’s Lina Hanich once again broke her own 800m program record at the Hornet Invitational on Mar. 21. At 2:05.23, she delivered the fastest mark NCAA Division II has seen this season (21st in DII history) before going on to deliver another Outdoor Nationals provisional mark in the 1500m at 4:27.00 (third in DII this year) on Mar. 22.
