Wynne (Westport, Conn.) set a new Virginia school record in the 1,500 meters in a winning time of 3:38.35. His time broke the 33-year old school record, previously held by John Hinton in 1983 (3:40.24). The time also broke the Pressly Stadium and Florida Relays meet records that were previously set in 1973 and 1978, respectively. Junior Mike Marsella (Hope Valley, R.I.) finished 10th the same event in 3:44.78, while freshman Matthew Novak (Glen Allen, Va.) placed 12th in 3:45.35, which ranks second on UVA's freshman list.
