LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Both triple jump program records were shattered as Bellarmine University track and field opened the indoor season Saturday at the Commonwealth College Opener at the Norton Healthcare Sports & Learning Center.

Junior Amelia Svidal broke her own women's indoor program record in the triple jump after recording an 11.79m jump, which topped her 11.66 from the 2025 Rod McCravy Memorial. She placed fourth in the event and was also fourth in the long jump (5.34m).

Freshman Tola Taiwo made an auspicious collegiate debut by setting a new men's indoor program record in the triple jump with a leap of 13.90m, which broke Bryan Cummings' long-held mark of 13.78 from the 2017 Indianapolis Season Opener, along with Cummings' freshman program record of 13.43 from the 2017 UIndy Collegiate Challenge. He placed fifth in the event.

Senior Jansen Story took top honors in the women's 1000m (3:11.50), while senior Zander Hooten placed first in the men's 60m hurdles (8.13) and junior Carter Olmsted snagged third (8.34).

Bellarmine's men captured three of the top five placements in the 300m, as sophomore Grant King was second (34.31), senior Zac Hutslar was third (34.45) and junior Josiah Moore was fifth (34.56). King was a hair off Jackson Gordon's program record (34.30) from last season's Commonwealth College Opener.

Bellarmine is off until the Jan. 9-10 Rod McCravy Memorial at Norton SLC.
