Emory University senior Edward Mulder won the mile run at the Emory Crossplex Invitational on Sunday. Mulder finished first in the field of 49 runners, recording a time of 4:16.63 to best his previous career-best indoor mark by 1.99 seconds. The time was good for the 13th-best by a Division III runner this season, and was the best raw time by a University Athletic Association (UAA) competitor in 2014. Mulder also ran the leadoff leg of the Eagles’ distance medley relay team, which finished sixth in a time of 10:49.21. His performance helped the Eagles finish third in the team standings at the meet, and first among competing NCAA Division III teams.
