SWARTHMORE, Pa. - The women's 4x400m relay team consisting of Ellissa Slader, Leanne Weaver, Esther Seeland, and Taylor Wiederrecht battled through rainy conditions to set the program record for the second-straight meet.

In The Results
Coming into the day, Slader, Weaver, Seeland, and T. Wiederrecht sat on the bubble as the No. 14 team in the nation but put together a program record time of 3:50.49 this evening, putting them No. 9 in the nation. Last weekend, the same relay team broke the record set in 1983 (3:53.05) with a time of 3:52.96.
