| By:
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – After a plethora of impressive performances at last weekend's ERAU Indoor/Outdoor Challenge, the Embry-Riddle women's track and field team continued its early season success on Friday at the Jimmy Carnes Invitational.  The Eagles hit three national qualifying standards and broke three school records at Friday's meet, which took place at the University of Florida's Stephen C. O'Connell Center. 
 
Sophomore Marina LeVine, who made her collegiate track debut at last year's Jimmy Carnes Invitational, hit an "A" standard in the 800m.  LeVine posted a time of 2:18.69 to earn a fifth place finish.
 
Halle Green-Anderson achieved two "B" standards in the long jump and 55m hurdles.  The junior posted a mark of 5.44m in the long jump and time of 8.61 in the 55m hurdles.  Green-Anderson's mark in the long jump earned her a first place finish as she beat 11 athletes from NCAA I programs. 
 
Stephanie Mueller continued the hot start to her freshman campaign as she broke two more school records on Friday.  Mueller first set the school record in the high jump with a mark of 1.60m before beating a handful of NCAA I athletes in the pole vault to finish third in the event with a personal and program best mark of 3.30m.
 
Senior Rebecca Love also set a personal best time in the 800m run, crossing the finish line in 2:29.74.
 
Also noteworthy, Kirsten Chambers became the first Eagle woman to ever compete in the indoor pentathlon.  Chambers finished in eighth place with 2671 points.
