The Big Red are coming off an impressive showing at their lone home meet of the season, the Big Red Invitational, where multiple program marks and all-time performances were recorded across both squads.

On the women's side, the 4x100-meter relay team of Divine Bamgboye, Beckham, Redmond and Walters clocked 45.23 to move to No. 3 all-time at Cornell. Bamgboye also posted a standout performance in the 100-meter hurdles, running 13.71 to set a freshman record and rank No. 2 all-time in program history (all-conditions). Arianna Allen followed closely with a 13.93 mark, tying for No. 6 all-time.

Sophia Comfere added a freshman record in the 400 meters with a time of 54.58, good for No. 10 in program history, while Lauren Cashman cleared 4.01 meters in the pole vault to move to No. 5 all-time.

The men's team also delivered a series of top-10 program marks. Panashe Nhenga led the way in the sprints, running 10.32 in the 100 meters to rank No. 3 all-time (all-conditions), while also clocking 21.28 in the 200 meters to move into the No. 10 spot.

In the field events, Joe Seib recorded a throw of 17.79 meters in the shot put to rank No. 7 in program history, with Noah Harman following at 17.30 meters to claim the No. 10 spot.
