AMES, Iowa- The DePaul men's and women's track and field teams finished the ISU Classic Saturday. At day two of the ISU Classic, two DePaul student-athletes set DePaul Records.

Also representing the women's team, Kelly Pickering finished in 22nd with a career-best time of 5:12.3 in the mile and Freshman Elizabeth Jefferson ran a 400m dash time of 58.16. This is Jefferson's first BIG EAST Qualifying time.
On the men's side, Chris Kyles first set the DePaul record in the 60m dash when he ran a time of 6.87 in the preliminary. However, in the finals, he pushed the DePaul Record farther, when he finished in seventh with a time of 6.83.
