It was a record-setting day for the Butler boys and girls indoor track and field teams at the TSTCA meet Saturday at Edinboro University.

Noah Beveridge broke the school record in the 3,000-meter run with a time of 8 minutes, 56.20 seconds. He broke the previous record of 8:58 set by Gary Garman in 1999.

The Butler girls had three first-place finishes in the 64-team meet and had a placer in 11 of the 16 events.

Alexis Leech won the 400-meter dash with time of 59.74 seconds, which is an indoor state qualifying time, and the 3,200-meter relay team of Maddie Glew, Shana Hoy, Emanuel and Leech also placed first with a time of 10:09.57.
