BRYSON SETS UAA RECORD MILE, EARNS BRONZE IN 3K

• The Judges' lone champion on the day was sophomore Emily Bryson (Quincy, Mass./No. Quincy), who won the mile run with a time of 4:55.29.
• Though well off her season-best time, Bryson won the event by nearly two full seconds thanks to a terrific kick on the last lap.
• Her mark bested the record set in 2010 by Washington University's Elizabeth Phillips.
• The UAA title was the third of Bryson's career, to go along with the 2015 cross country crown and the 2016 outdoor championship in the 5,000-meter run.
• Bryson is ranked third in Division III in the mile with just over a week before the NCAA Division III field is released.
• Bryson also earned All-Association honors in the 3,000-meter run with a time of 9:57.94. She finished behind a pair of runners in WashU's Alison Lindsay and Chicago's Khia Kurtenbach who both erased a 17-year UAA record in taking the top two spots.
