DURHAM, N.C. — William & Mary track & field closed out the regular season in impressive fashion on Sunday at the Duke Twilight, highlighted by a program-record performance from freshman Kennedy Reynolds and several additions to the Tribe's all-time top-10 list.

Reynolds delivered the signature performance of the day in the women's 400m hurdles, breaking the William & Mary school record with a personal-best time of 59.26. The mark also established a new freshman record and made Reynolds the first athlete in program history to break the one-minute barrier in the event.

Freshman Amelia Bawcombe continued her breakout outdoor campaign in the throws, posting a personal-best mark of 45.17m (148-2) in the women's discus to move to No. 5 on William & Mary's all-time performers list in the event.

In the women's javelin, Elaina Perkins turned in another strong showing, placing fifth with a throw of 41.63m (136-7), while senior Kalli Knott remained among the program's best in the pole vault, clearing 4.00m (13-1½) to finish sixth in a competitive field. The mark is tied for the fifth-best performance in school history and came just one week after Knott cleared a personal-best 4.05m (13-3½) at the Penn Relays, the third-best mark in program history.

Freshman Finn Middleton enjoyed a breakout day on the track, posting personal-best times in both the 110m hurdles and 100m dash. Middleton clocked 14.75 in the hurdles to move to No. 6 on William & Mary's all-time performers list before adding a personal-best 10.88 in the 100m to climb to No. 9 in program history in that event.

William & Mary wrapped up the regular season with momentum heading into postseason competition after another weekend filled with program records, personal bests and top-10 all-time performances.
