KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (April 9, 2010) - Senior Beth Zimmerman broke her own school triple jump record for the second time this season to highlight the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee women's track and field team's performance at the Sea Ray Relays Friday.

Okonkwo shaved 0.24 seconds off her personal-best with a time of 14.50. She took 20th in the event and slid up to third in school history. Mafany ran 14.73 for 27th on the day and seventh in school history.

Mafany was one of two top-20 finishers in the 400m hurdles, where sophomore Calanetta Burrows ran a personal-best 1:02.82 for 12th place. Mafany was 20th in 1:03.95.

Senior Kelsey Conrad posted a pair of top-20 finishes of her own on the day, while Milwaukee also had athletes place in the top 20 in the discus throw and pole vault.
