CLEVELAND, Tenn. --- The Chattanooga outdoor track and field team showed improvement and put together top performances at the Lee Fast Break Athletics Invitational Friday afternoon.
 
"We had a very good day here for our first day," Mocs head coach Andy Meyer said. "Several of the kids had significant improvements in their personal best times."
 
Sarah Unterholzner was one of those. She ran a personal record 1:05.27 and placed third in the 400 meter hurdles.
 
Maddie Wheatcroft, running the fast heat of the 5000 meter run, finished fourth overall with a personal-best time of 17:12.15. Kathryn Vradenburgh won heat 3 and was just behind her time at 17:13.19, placing seventh.
 
Leah Boyd, Lola Baker and Michaela Dabney all recorded personal best times in the 5000 meter.
 
"Sarah [Unterholzner] got us started with a very impressive third place overall in the 400m hurdles," Meyer said. "Michaela [Dabney], Lola [Baker], Leah [Boyd], Maddie [Wheatcroft] and Kathryn [Vradenburgh] all had drops in their times. Kathryn won her heat and went right to the front at the start. She and Leah just kept pulling away."
 
In the men's races, Aaron Isbell finished sixth in the 1500 meter and Jack Martin placed 13^th in the 10,000 meter run.
 
"Aaron [Isbell] ran the 1500 right at his PR," Meyer said. "Eamonn [O'Bryant] had about a 30 second improvement over his last 5k and won his heat in the 5k. Kaigen [Mulkey] then won his heat in the 5k with another big jump in his PR."
 
Isbell finished with a time of 3:56.74. Mulkey was the first Moc to finish with a PR time of 15:13.18 in the 5000 meter run. O'Bryant posted a season best time 15:30.33.
 
"It was one of those nights to be Moc," Meyer said. "Just about everyone did well and hopefully we will see more tomorrow."
 
Saturday will conclude the two-day meet in Cleveland, Tenn., beginning with the women's 400 meter dash at 12:30 p.m. Other races will be the women's 100 meter hurdles, 800 meter run and the 4x400 meter relay.
