GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Furman's Dylan Schubert set a program record in the 5,000m at the Boston University Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener in Boston, Mass., on Saturday, and the Paladins notched five top-10 mile finishes at the Visit Winston-Salem College Kick-off at the JDL Fast Track in Winston-Salem, N.C.

Schubert, a senior from Loveland, Colo., finished second in his heat with a time of 13:29.95, setting a new PR by a whopping 16 seconds, and breaking the former Furman record of 13:42.39, which was set by Carson Williams last season.  Schubert's time ranks 14th nationally on the NCAA indoor championships qualifying list.  

"Dylan has established himself among the nation's upper tier for cross country, but this was a huge breakthrough for track," said Furman head coach Robert Gary.  "This time sets a new school record and a PR by 16 seconds."

In Winston-Salem, senior Madelynne Cadeau placed second in the mile with a personal-best time of 4:52.82, leading a group of five athletes among the top-11 in the event.  Freshman Lily Feingold finished fifth in her collegiate indoor debut with a time of 5:04.36, and junior Callie Harper was ninth at 5:13.04.  Sophomore Clair Garrett ran her first collegiate mile, notching a time of 5:13.52 for tenth place, followed by senior Beth Donnelly in 11th at 5:16.52.

On the men's side, junior Foster Wilfong posted a ninth-place finish in the mile at 4:30.57. 

After the winter break, Furman will compete at the Carolina Challenge in Columbia, S.C., January 19-20.
