BOSTON, Mass. – The North Dakota distance team concluded the David Hemery Valentine Invitational on Saturday and broke two school records.

Alec Nelson broke the first school record on Saturday morning with a PR time of 1:49.83 in the 800 meters. He broke the record of Jesse Middendorf, who set it at 1:50.14 at this meet last year. Nelson's PR currently ranks as the top 800-meter time in the Summit League this season.

Teammate Justice Dick was also in the 800 meters and posted the third-fastest time in school history with a time of 1:50.37.

The distance medley relay team of Eliana Malnourie, Jerzie Finstad, Brooklyn Brouse and Yonca Kutluk shattered the school record with a time of 11:40.44. They broke the record of 11:43.73, which was set by the team of Madison Overby, Lucy Steinmeyer, Erica Eades and Hanah Oscarson at South Dakota State in 2020.

Lennart Lindstrot moved up to No. 3 in program history in the mile with a personal-best time of 4:09.40.

Henrik Lindstrot was less than two seconds shy from making the UND top-10 list in the invitational 3,000 meters with a PR of 8:31.01 on Saturday night.

North Dakota will conclude the regular season hosting the UND Tune-Up next Saturday (Feb. 17), before traveling to Fargo for the Summit League Indoor Championships on Feb. 23-24.
