Vanderbilt Hurdler Breaks Program Record at Music City Challenge: The Anchor, February 16, 2025
The Vanderbilt Commodores track and field team closed out the regular indoor track season over the weekend. The Commodores saw nine different athletes set top 10 program performances but it was Falon Spearman who joined Julia Rosenberg in setting new program records.
Rosenberg set a new record in the mile on Friday. Spearman joined her by setting a new 60-meter program record by running in 8.18 seconds after coming .02 seconds from breaking the record last weekend at the East Coast Invitational.
“The timing of the meet allowed the coaches and athletes to pull everything together,” director of cross country and track and field Althea Thomas said in a statement. “The results showed what we’re capable of, how the plan we have is perfect for the timing of the personal and season bests, school top 10s and records and rankings in the SEC.”
