Allendale, Mich. - The University of Wisconsin Milwaukee men's and women's track and field teams combined to set 14 new personal records and just missed all-time top-10 performances in numerous events in the second and final day of the GVSU Big Meet hosted by Grand Valley State.

In all, UWM posted 12 top-10 finishes on the day and 37 total top-10 finishes overall at the two-day meet.

"Being a new meet for us, I didn't know exactly what to expect going in but overall things went very well," Milwaukee head coach Pete Corfeld said. "Day one went well and then turning around and running a whole second meet today was a little daunting, but the kids handled it well and we're happy how everything went."
