Competing at the TTC in the final event of the championship meet, the foursome of Ayodele Adesanya, Toria Levy, Djenne Parris and Leah Fowlkes finished first with a school-record time of 3:37.62, nearly five seconds faster than the second-place school. The foursome broke their own school record set on Feb. 19 at the Patriot League Championships (3:39.66).
