BOSTON, Mass. – Rachel Horowitz tallied two school records en route to a stellar showing at the BU Valentine Invitational on Friday. In total, GW saw five runners compete at the meet in three different events.

Horowitz started the day with a standout performance in the 400m dash, recording a 57.13 to set a new GW program record. The previous 400m dash record of 1:00.21 was set by Brittany Wilkinson during the 2021-22 season. Horowitz followed up her record-breaking performance with another GW record, this time in the 200m dash. Horowitz turned in a time of 25.20 to beat the previous top mark of 26.23 by over a second. The old record was set by Horowitz's teammate Kamryn Holness, who set the time earlier this season at the Youree Spence-Garcia Meet.

Along with Horowitz, GW also saw production from Sarah Mitchell and Lola Dinneen who both competed in the mile. Mitchell finished with a time of 4:55.49 in the event, while Dinneen clocked a mark of 5:19.39. Rounding out GW's runners were Una Boylan and Olivia Syftestad who both took part in the 3000m run. Boylan registered a 10:02.00, while Syftestad finished just behind with a 10:04.00.

GW will compete in one more tune-up before the Atlantic 10 Championships at the end of February. The final preparatory meet will be held on Feb. 16 at George Mason. A meet start time is still TBA. Follow GWsports.com for all up-to-date information.
