MIDDLEBURY, Vt. -- The Mount Holyoke College indoor track and field team did not have its full team competing at the Middlebury Field and Track Meet on Saturday, but many competing Lyons recorded personal-best marks, including two performances that made changes to the program's all-time top-10 performance list.

"It was a great day for us," said head coach Jay Hartshorn. "Every single runner on the track today had a PR [personal record], and several of them were really big ones."

PR's and other top marks for Mount Holyoke included:
