BIRMINGHAM, AL- Three Millsaps indoor track records were broken on Friday as the Majors started the indoor track season with the BSC Ice Breaker hosted by Birmingham Southern.
Travis Hebeler overcame illness to set the Millsaps' record in the indoor 800 meters. Hebeler posted a 2:07.22 in the finals after posting a 2:04 flat in the preliminaries. Ken Newburger was right behind Hebeler finishing at 2:09.55.
Ben Parva set the Millsaps' record for the indoor mile, his first of two school records set on Friday. The senior ran a blazing 4:37.21 to finish fifth overall in the finals and second among D-III runners. Parva also set the school record in the indoor 3000 meters. He ran a 9:10.72 in the indoor 3000 meters, a mark that was second among D-III runners and a time that was better than all but two D-I runners.
On the women's side, Jenna Johnson had a strong showing in the weighted throw. Johnson nearly set a personal best with a toss of 12.41 meters (40ft 8inches). That mark placed her third among D-III throwers.
The BSC Ice Breaker was the lone meet for 2014 for the Majors. They will resume their indoor season on February 14th when they head to the Tiger Invitational hosted by Sewanee.
