ALBUQUERQUE, N.M – Sophomore Annalies Kalma secured her second individual indoor Nevada all-time mark in the 200 meters to rank seventh in school history to highlight the first day of the Don Kirby Invitational Friday afternoon.
 
Kalma lowered her personal record to a time of 24.47, now holding indoor all-time marks in two individual events (200 meters, 400 meters) and the 4x400 meter relay. Of the 11 athletes that competed in the unseeded 200 meters, nine of the women saw new personal records. Coming in within the top-40 was Sarah Marske in 35^th with a time of 24.89, marking the first time she's been under the 25 second benchmark individually in her career. Natasha Chetty (24.99) claimed 42^nd and was the last athlete under 25 seconds in the event.

"We moved the needle today, and I'm really proud of the way everyone competed," said head coach Shantel Twiggs. "We had several personal bests and Annalies made the Nevada All-Time List. Bring on day two because we are poised for great things." 
 
In 45^th was Kylee Parsons in a time of 25.03, remaining consistent and lowering her personal record in each of the three meets of the indoor season so far. Madison Kalberer (25.37) and Magdalene George (25.39) finished 58^th and 59^th respectively, while Lilly Gregg placed 76^th (25.80), marking the last athlete in the 25 second range.

In the invitational 200 meters section, Bonét Henderson saw a season best time of 24.78, only seven one hundredths off her personal record (24.71).
 
In the afternoon, Rayven Nealey represented the Pack solo in flight six of the long jump where she finished 31^st overall with a season best mark of 5.74. In the morning flights, Maria Paz Milani led the way to claim 45^th with a mark of 5.58 meters, tying her personal record.

All four athletes representing the Pack in the unseeded 400m meters sped their way to new personal records.
