The key leg for the Greyhounds securing the win and the record was Namutebi on the anchor. The Ugandan national teamer registered the only sub-22 in the field and nearly a half second faster than Queens’ 2018 anchor. It’s also .57 under the 22.26 she went in the individual 50 to get second place earlier in the night.

Apart from Namutebi, who is a sophomore, the rest of Indy’s relay team are in their final year of competition. The Lady Greyhounds sit third in the team standings after the first day. They’ll compete in the 400 medley relay today, an event for which they’re seeded second.
