Hutchinson breaks two school records at GLVC Indoor Championships

Peacock junior records career-bests in triple jump and 60m hurdles

INDIANAPOLIS - Haylie Hutchinson broke two school records at the GLVC Indoor Track and Field Championships this weekend. The junior recorded a school record in the triple jump at 11.18m (36' 8.25") and a school record in the 60m hurdles at 9.14 seconds. 

Her triple jump surpassed her own previous record of 10.99m (36' 00.75") at the Liz Wuertz Invite last week. The 60m hurdle time broke Kristin Culp's record of 9.16 seconds in 2016. Hutchinson also beat her career best time of 9.21 seconds in the 60m hurdles. 

The junior placed seventh in the triple jump to score for the team. She came .01 seconds away from qualifying for the 60m hurdles finals, taking ninth in the preliminaries. 

Aaliyah Comadore competed in the long jump and recorded a jump of 4.71m (15' 5.5"). UIU's 4x400m team of Jillian Dodds, Jasheana Tracey, Eryn Sabelka and Hutchinson took 11th with a time of 4:16.20. 

With the conference championships, the GLVC released the James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Award honorees. Hutchinson was named the honoree for the Peacocks. The GLVC James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Award honorees are student-athletes who have distinguished themselves through sportsmanship and ethical behavior. These individuals must also be in good academic standing while also demonstrating good citizenship outside of the sports-competition setting. Hutchinson is now eligible to become one of UIU's two Spalding Sportsmanship Award winners, which will be announced at the end of the academic year.

UIndy won the GLVC Indoor Championship with 132 team points. Lewis (Ill.) came in second with 127 points, and Lincoln (Mo.) was in third with 101 points. The Greyhounds snapped Lewis' six-year Championship streak with the win, picking up their second indoor crown in program history. 

The GLVC Championships wrap up the indoor track and field season for the Peacocks. UIU will start outdoor competition on April 1-2 at the Loras Easter Invitational in Dubuque.
