Heather Merrifield and Senna Ohlsson set Loyola University Maryland records on Friday at the Navy Select Meet as the Greyhounds had their last competition before next weekend's Patriot League Championships.
 
Ohlsson cruised to a win in the 500 meters, qualifying for the ECAC Championships with a school-record time of 1:13.09, more than a half-second of the record she set in 2018 of 1:13.82. She has now run the five fastest, and eight of the 10 best, 500 times in school history.
 
Merrifield ran a new school-best in the 400 meters, taking fourth in the event with a time of 57.13. She shaved 21-hundredths of a second off the previous record, 57.34, set in 2017 by Molly Smith.
 
The duo also helped Loyola's 4x400-meter relay team to a victory. Merrifield led off the relay, followed by Ohlsson, Olivia Malley and Courtney Kenny, and the Greyhounds finished with a time of 3:52.66, winning by more than seven seconds of the Naval Academy's entry.
 
Kenny won her heat of the 400 meters with her fastest time of the year, 57.75, a performance that tied her for fifth-best all-time in the event at Loyola. Rachel Koller also had a personal-best in the event, running 59.38 to finish ninth.
 
Rhoda Miller was the Greyhounds' top finisher in the 60 meters, running a personal-best time, and the sixth-fastest in school history, of 8.03 to finish ninth. Ariana Santo Pietro was 12^th in 8.31, and Katherine Schramm finished a spot back in 8.52.
 
Maria Jaeckel led Loyola in the 200 meters, taking 11^th in 27.20, while Jessica Boos (27.36) and Ava Dunn (27.56) were 12^th and 13^th, respectively.
 
Stephanie Tracy was fifth in the 500 meters, winning her heat with a time of 1:18.70, an effort which is 11^th-best in school history. Taylor McHugh was ninth in the ninth in the event in 1:23.52.
 
Jordyn Pugh ran a personal-best in the 800 meters, 2:16.27, to take sixth, while Grayce Heinemann was one spot behind in 2:17.84. Malley finished ninth in 2:18.48, also a personal-best.
