Emory University junior co-captain Debora Adjibaba broke her own school record in the 60-meter dash twice during the Eagles’ season-opening meet, the Panther Indoor Icebreaker, in Birmingham, Alabama on Friday. Adjibaba opened the meet with a time of 7.70 seconds in the preliminaries of the 60-meter dash, and followed that with a mark of 7.69 seconds in the finals, breaking her own school record of 7.71 seconds in the event, set during last year’s NCAA Championships. She finished fifth in the finals, the best finish by a non-Division I runner, and her time was the fastest so far this season by a Division III runner in the 60-meter dash. Adjibaba also finished 23rd in the 200-meter dash with a time of 25.81 seconds, the fourth-fastest time in the program’s history and second-fastest in Division III this year.
