SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The North Dakota State 4x400m relay team of freshman Morgan Milbrath, senior Ashley Tingelstad, junior Ashley Heinze and junior Paige Stratioti broke the school record for the third time in 21 days on Saturday afternoon, running the nation's ninth-fastest time at Notre Dame's Alex Wilson Invitational.
 
The relay squad's record time of 3:34.57 is now an improvement of 6.55 seconds over the previous school record as it appeared on Feb. 1. Today's performance trimmed nearly three seconds off the record of 3:37.42 that Milbrath, Tingelstad, Heinze and Stratioti set one week ago on Feb. 15.
