ATHENS, GA. – With another record-breaking performance, the Princeton women's track and field team closed out competition at the Spec Towns Invitational in Athens, Ga. on Saturday.

The 4x100 squad of Brooke Jackson, Maisha Atkinson, Laila Payne, and Franziska Burchett set a new program record as they ran 45.16. They bested the previous Princeton record of 45.19, set in 2022.

Payne also had a top-10 finish in the 100m hurdles as she set a new PR with a time of 14.15.
