MONROE, La. – After breaking school records at the Vulcan Invite on Saturday, sophomore
Dusan Makevic and junior
Teona Glave from ULM track & field repeated as Warhawk Male and Female of the Week winners, respectively.
Makevic broke the school record in the 3000m by more than a full second with an 8:18.54 time. His pace was almost six seconds faster than the second-place finisher in the event as he crushed the rest of the 60-competitor field. Makevic's time is the fastest of anyone in the Sun Belt Conference this season.
The Sabac, Serbia native broke the previous school record of 8:20.08 set by
Daniel Mutai in 2012. Makevic won first-place in an event for the second week in a row after winning the mile at the KMS Invitational on Feb. 4 with a 4:14.64 time, which stands as a top-5 mark in the league this season.
Glave broke her own school record in the women's 800m with a time of 2:15.16. It edged out her previous mark of 2:15.22 set in 2012. She beat out 10 other SBC student-athletes in the race.
The Manchester, Jamaica product holds a top-5 time in the conference this season in the 800m. Her time is also fastest on the team by more than 10 seconds. Glave's performance comes one week after winning the 800m at the KMS Invitational.
The duo will look to continue improving upon their school records this weekend when the Warhawks head to Lubbock, Texas for the two-day Texas Tech Invitational.
