HONOLULU - The Hawai'i women's track and field team opened the 2005 outdoor season by hosting the fifth All-Comers Meet at Cooke Field over the weekend. Two stadium records (women's hammer and men's 5000m) were set including a new UH record by junior Novelle Murray in the hammer throw.

Murray set a new stadium standard and UH record with a throw of 54.05m, easily out-distancing her previous mark of 50.34m set earlier this season.

In addition, the two-time WAC discus champion threw 48.38m, the third farthest in school history. Murray also won the coconut toss with a throw of 23.85, for second all-time.

In the 100m hurdles, junior Nicole Wright posted the fourth fastest time in UH history finishing in 15.10 while sophomore Patricia Gauthier ran the fourth fastest time in the 80m hurdles (12.49).

In the men's 5000m, Hawai'i Pacific's William Ngetich ran a time of 14:38.44, breaking the previous record of 14:50.74 held by Mike Comstock of West Point in 1984.
