After poor weather prompted Doane University to postpone Friday and Saturday's events at the Jim Dutcher Invite, the Bruin distance track squad finally found some conditions conducive to fast running on Sunday afternoon in Crete. Partly sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-50s allowed two Bruins to establish new school records while two others had big personal bests.
