The 2014 distance medley relay for the ISU women’s track and field team was one of the best in school history. The distance squad posted the three fastest times in program history with a fastest time of 11:11.93.

This year’s distance medley relay team looks to be even stronger for Iowa State. The group will compete at the Razorback Team Invitational on Jan. 30 to 31.

ISU assistant coach Andrea Grove-McDonough believes this year’s relay team will break the 2014 team’s record.

“[It’s] a big deal for Iowa State. It’s not known for bringing middle distance to the table, so we’re looking forward to that,” Grove-McDonough said.

Sophomore Perez Rotich will lead off the relay and redshirt senior Katy Moen will anchor.
