GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Bellarmine University track and field medaled in four events and the Knights men set three new program records Saturday at the ASUN Indoor Championship at the Alachua County Sports and Events Center.

On the second and final day of the conference meet, both Bellarmine 4x400 relay teams earned medals. Freshman Carter Olmsted, sophomore Zander Hooten, senior Ike Boling and sophomore Jackson Gordon took the silver (8 pts) in 3:14.91, which bested the previous men's program record of 3:15.65 at the 2023 PNC Bank Bellarmine Classic recorded by Boling, Gordon, Trevor Holbrook and Ryan Hawkins.

Junior Naimah Slaughter, freshman Raven Payne, sophomore Jansen Story and junior Chloe Freilinger earned a bronze medal (6 pts) in the women's 4x400 relay. Freilinger also scored in the 400 after placing fourth (5 pts).

Hooten and Gordon both secured two silver medals. Hooten was the runner-up in the 60 hurdles in a program-record 8.06, which topped Seth Sigler's longstanding 8.08 from the 2012 DePauw Tiger Invitational. Hooten collected eight points in the event and Olmsted registered two after placing seventh.

Gordon was the runner-up in the 400. In addition to his eight points, Boling brought in four after finishing fifth.

Sophomore Chase Atkins placed sixth (3 pts) in the 3000 in a program-record 8:10.87, which bested Paul Stamm's 8:14.01 from the 2023 PNC Bank Bellarmine Classic. Sophomore Alex Hooten scored in the 800 after finishing fifth (4 pts).

Bellarmine's men placed sixth with 45 points and the women ninth with 17 points. Kennesaw State handily swept the team titles.
