After breaking the Michigan 100-meter hurdles record as a freshman, it was only a matter of time before she would break it again.

Sophomore Tiffany Ofili ran a time of 13.36 seconds in the 100-meter hurdles to break her own record by 0.01 seconds. Ofili's time snapped the Arizona State Invitational meet record by 0.14 seconds.

"It is great for (Ofili) to break a school record, especially at the start of the outdoor season," Michigan coach James Henry said. "She picked up close to where she left off last year."

Ofili's success was just the beginning for Michigan at the Arizona State Invitational, a non-scoring event.

The dominoes continued to fall as senior Katie Erdman captured a meet-record time of 2:02.99 in the 800-meter run. Her first-place finish wasn't much of a surprise given that she captured an All-America honor in the 800-meter two weeks ago.

"Erdman ran an excellent time to win the event," Henry said. "I was pleased with the result and she is very happy with her performance."

The Wolverines' success continued in the middle-distance events. Nicole Edwards led the Wolverines with a first-place finish in the 1,500-meter run (4:20.92).

Sophomore Geena Gall matched her teammate's effort giving Michigan a 1-2 finish in the event. Both Edwards and Gall took home regional qualifying marks for Michigan.

"Geena and Nicole were both very pleased with their results," Henry said. "Especially because this was the start of the outdoor season."

Sophomore Amber Hay finished fourth in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 59.84. Her teammate, sophomore Katie LaValley, was also solid for Michigan, finishing seventh in the event. Both Wolverines picked up qualifying standards for the Wolverines at the meet.

The Wolverines began the outdoor season in stride after their strong ninth-place finish two weeks ago at the NCAA Indoor Championships.

"We wanted to get out and run a great meet," Henry said. "We did just that by having the best opening week in a long time."

Despite not having the ability to practice in the warm weather, the Wolverines excelled under the sultry Arizona skies. This is especially impressive because much of the fiercest competition hails from the South and West.

"We wanted to come to Arizona to be able to run down here and get a feel for competing in the warm weather," Henry said.

The Wolverines return to the track next week when they travel back to the west coast to compete in the Stanford Invitational on Saturday.
