CLEVELAND, Tenn. --- Despite dropping temps and changing weather, the Chattanooga outdoor track and field team posted multiple personal records on Day One of the Flames Invitational hosted by Lee University Friday.
 
After temperatures in the 80s just two days ago followed by severe weather threats, temperatures around the region hit unseasonable lows Friday and included rain and even sleet during the races. Emma Russum was in the middle of her 1500 meter heat when the precipitation turned icy.
 
Faith Brown, in an earlier heat, posted a PR time of 4:53.86 in the event while Russum (4:59.15) and Morgan Ouellette (5:24.10) competed at that distance for the first time in their collegiate career.
 
Lesley Green ran a late 10000 meter race and knocked nearly a minute off her previous best time at 36:11.21. Allie Potter took 18 seconds off her PR for the 5000 meter run, improving with each race. She posted a time of 19:05.23. Justine Glass, meanwhile, recorded a 17:18.81 for her first try at the 5k.
 
Gracie Morse ran her first outdoor race this season, posting a 1:08.09 in the 100 meter Hurdles winning her heat and placing 10^th overall.
 
Imani Bryant led a trio in the 200 meter Dash, just missing her best time at 26.62. Carley Burt (28.30) and Reagan Ruth (29.84) each finishing fourth in their heats.
 
The men posted a pair of PRs in the 1500 meter Run led by Kaigen Mulkey's 4:00.09 who took second in the fourth heat. Aaron Isbell finished fourth in his heat and posted a PR 4:01.11. Eric Mitchell, running his first 1500m, finished fourth in the second heat with a time of 4:08.07 and Eammon O'Bryant finished with a time of 4:08.34.
 
Ryan Phillips covered the 5000 meter distance with a time of 15:55.16 while Jonathan Boyd (31:56.20) and Jasper Wilson (32:11.72) legged out a late 10000 meter run.
