UCI tandem sets records

UC Irvine sophomore Erin Curtis and junior Jenny Liou set school

records at the Stanford Track and Field Invitational completed

Sunday.

Curtis won the pole vault with a clearance of 12-11 3/4, besting

the standard of 12-9 1/2 he set last season.

1:52.03 in the 800 and junior Travis Morisoli clocked a season-best

9:33.82 in the 3,000 steeplechase.
