Women's Results AMES, Iowa – Three school records fell and numerous personal bests were set for the track and field teams at the Iowa State Classic this weekend. Leah Rygh broke her own school mark in the women’s mile while Erin Moffett also set a school record in the women’s 5000 meters. The men’s 4x400-meter relay team also set a new school mark while the women’s relay team just missed a new school record. Rygh broke her own mark set last season with a time of 4:46.93. She finished fourth in the race while provisionally qualifying for the NCAA Championships. A year ago, she set the record with a time of 4:53.64.
