Loeffler Breaks Steeplechase Record at Last Chance Meet

Naperville, Illinois - Trinity's Emily Loeffler broke the school steeplechase record to highlight Trinity's track & field teams at the North Central Last Chance Meet on Saturday.

Loeffler bested the old record by nearly 11 seconds in the meet, finishing in a time of 10:59.9 in the race.  The previous record of 11:10.14 was set by Maeve Goetz at the Whataburger Invitational in 2004.  Prior to Saturday, Loeffler's best time of the 2006 season was 11:37.61 at the season-opening Trinity University Invitational in March.

Brad Robinson and Jeremy Daum also performed well in the 5,000 meter run.  Robinson ran his second-best time of the season, while Daum had a season-best performance in the event.
