1/30/2026 8:38 PM | Track & Field
Erin Vringer broke the 3000m school record while Chelsea Amoah broke her own 200m record on Friday.
SEATTLE / ALBUQUERQUE / LOGAN, Utah – The Utah track & field team had a fantastic start to the weekend on Friday between the three meets across three different states led by Erin Vringer breaking the 3000m record while Chelsea Amoah broke her own 200m record.
Â
UW INVITATIONAL
Utah's day in the PNW started off hot in the 3000m race Josie Fale winning her section of the race with a run of 9:17.37 – which wound up being the third-fastest time of the day. In her first race of the season, Katarzyna Nowakowska claimed victory in her section of the 3000m run as well after posting the top-time in the event with a PR mark of 9:10.40 – which also bumped her into No. 6 all-time at Utah.
Â
In the same heat as Nowakowska, Annastasia placed sixth-overall after crossing the finish line at 9:19.92 for a new personal in the event. Mackenzie Rogers made her Utah debut after sitting out the cross country season and had the 10th-fastest time in the event with a PR run of 9:23.07. Freshman Emily Junginger made her collegiate indoor track debut with a second-place finish in her heat behind a run of 9:23.86 and 13th-overall. Lindsey Peters was right behind her for a top-15 finish time of 9:24.00.
Â
Later on, Bri Rinn just missed out on capturing the 800m crown when she and Boise State's Kaiya Robertson had a photo finish at the line and posted a PR time of 2:05.15 – which moved her up one spot to No. 2 on the all-time list at Utah. Kyla Martin placed fourth-overall in the 800m race after crossing the finish line at 2:06.71. Millie Wilcox (2:09.25) and Madi Hulsey (2:09.32) also picked up top-10 finish, placing eighth and ninth respectively.
Â
Erin Vringer provided the fireworks to end the night in the 3000m invitational run and put on the afterburners with about 600m to go and cruised to a school-record breaking victory time of 8:48.26. Vringer's time sits at No. 8 all-time inside Dempsey Indoor and the top time by a collegian at the UW Invitational this century. Her time is only bested by professional runners dating back to the start of the century at this meet.

NEW MEXICO OPEN

Matejah Mangum opened up the day for Utah winning her section of the unseeded 200m dash with a run of 24.21 (aa) and finished second-overall.

Â
Chelsea Amoah and Kinzlee Riddle posted a 1-2 finish for the Women of Utah in the 200m dash invitational event.
