It was a record-setting weekend at Hughes Fieldhouse as the Northwest indoor track & field squads lit up the Bearcat Invite. The men's distance medley relay posted the sixth fastest time in NCAA Division 2 history, while the women's DMR recorded the second fastest time in school history. Head coach Brandon Masters, along with a couple members from those DMR teams — Logan Arellano and Alyna Thibault, were guests on this week's program.
