The quartet of Alison Lambert, Charlotte Plummer, Lana Garner and Hanne Lyngstad claimed the distance medley relay title with a time of 10:55.71. The mark was more than two seconds faster than the field of 13 and bettered the Tulane school record by more than 20 seconds.
Sophomore Nathan Junius, a native of New Orleans, La., finished third in the men's javelin with a mark of 219 feet, 5 inches. The effort was a season best for Junious.
Junior Edrige Darling ran a 51.15 to finish fourth in the men's 400-meter hurdles. Darling is an NCAA provisional qualifier in this event.

This mile run features a mix of the nation's best collegiate and post-graduate milers. Kipyegon was one of only four collegians to qualify for the event.
Tulane student-athletes recorded 11 top-10 finishes, eight season-best performances, one event win, and one NCAA provisional qualifying mark in the three-day Penn Relay Carnival.
