ABILENE, Texas -- Midwestern State's Corinne Thorpe and Nidhi Singh set school records as the Mustangs posted 10 personal bests and landed 17 performances on school all-time performance start Saturday afternoon in the Wes Kittley Invitational at Elmer Gray Stadium.

Thorpe smashed the previous school 100-meter record of 12.13 by 0.12 seconds to take an eighth-place overall finish at the meet.

But the senior from Grand Prairie needed every bit of effort to nose out teammate Hailee Janzen, who clocked a 12.02 to finish ninth in the event.

Overall, the Mustangs placed five performances on the all-time list with sophomore Karissa Nixon coming in in 12.18 (fourth on the all-time list), senior Daiza Jones finished in 12.31 (seventh), and junior Trell'Kyrah Watkins clocked a 12.40 (10th).

Singh, who is coming off of a banner indoor campaign, claimed another school record by winning the 400-meter dash with a time of 55.13 to eclipse the previous record which was set by Daiza Jones last season by 0.01 seconds.

Watkins turned in the third fastest time in program history, finishing third with a 56.66, while freshman Maggie Neal raced to the seventh-best time on MSU's all-time performance chart to take fifth in 58.01.

Sophomore Jessie Heath led a strong showing by winning the 800-meter run with a time of 2:14.52, which ranks third on MSU's all-time list, while junior Jadyn Dangerfield finished third clocking a time of 2:15.97, the fifth fastest time in the program's annals.

Neal also paced third in the 1,500-meter run with a time of 4:50.67, which is the ninth best in program history and led a strong showing for the Mustangs in the event, followed by junior Ella Pando (4:51.88/5th), Dangerfield (4:51.89/6th), and senior Nathalia Escontrias (4:55.21/13th).

Sophomore Jaycee Lyons cracked the all-time list at the 5,000-meter distance with a time of 17:55.04. The mark ranked sixth all time as she finished fourth in the race.

Thorpe, Nixon, Heath, and Janzen clocked a 46.73 to place third in the 4x100-meter relay. The time was the second fastest in program history.
