Weekly Notes:

UMASS LOWELL: Senior Nicole Plante (North Adams, MA) topped all collegiate runners and posted the fastest time in the country in the 10,000 meters Friday night at the prestigious Mount San Antonio College Relays. Plante placed second overall with a time of 34:07.03, besting the previous Division II mark of 35:38.90 by junior Erin Richard of Clarion (PA) University by more than a minute and a half. Plante placed second only to Maria Elena Valencia of Mexico, who posted a time of 32:40.58. Plante also shattered her own school record of 34:35.75 by more than 28 seconds and fell shy of qualifying for the U.S. Championship by a mere seven seconds. The result virtually guarantees a place in the NCAA Championship for Plante, which will mark the third straight year she has qualified for the NCAAs in the 10,000 meters. PACE: At the Wesleyan Invitational, freshman Maurice Little broke the school record in the 400 meter run with a time of 51.97 seconds, surpassing a mark held since 1991.
