Hart breaks school heptathlon record

HICKORY, N.C. – VMI sophomore multi-event athlete Shea Hart broke the school record in the heptathlon Sunday by registering personal-record times and distances over the weekend at
the Southside Power and Fitness Invitational hosted by Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, North Carolina.

While most of the team competed last Saturday at the JMU Invite in Harrisonburg where the multi-events were not offered, Hart and Isaiah Blount from the men's team traveled to the Lenoir-Rhyne meet where both had excellent marks over the two-day event.

Hart had a great competition with personal records set in the 100m Hurdles, the long jump and 200m en route to a VMI school record 4,210 points in the heptathlon. This surpasses the former record mark of 3,962 set by Amanda Okani recorded in 2013.
