BOSTON - Junior distance runner Elizabeth Martell (Essex Junction, Vt.) of the University of New Hampshire women's track and field team earned a second-place finish in the 1000 meter run on Saturday afternoon at Boston University's Colyear-Danville season opening indoor event at BU's Track and Tennis Center.

Martell earned a time of 2:47.25, which marks the second fastest time in school history, trailing only Elinor Purrier (2:46.02), who set the record back in 2016.

"She continues to perform at a high level, coming off a strong cross country season," said UNH head coach Robert Hoppler. "We are excited to see what she can do over the course of the season on the track."

Martell currently holds the school record in the indoor 500 meter run, the outdoor 800m, as well as the 4x800 relay team.

The Wildcats return to action in their season opener at home on Sunday, December 4 at noon from Paul Sweet Oval in Durham.
