MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin men's track and field team wrapped up an action-filled weekend across three different meets this Saturday, running personal bests and school records.

Over in the Hoosier State, several Badgers made their mark at the Meyo Invite, highlighted by junior Jalen Williams' dominant win in the 400 meters. The Washington, D.C. native clocked 46.19, setting a new school record and ranking third in Division I this season. 

Soon after in the 800 meters, Patrick Hilby crossed the line in 1:48.59, earning a top-10 mark in UW history. This is the freshman's second top-10 time this season as he also ranks in the top-10 in school history in the 600 meters. 

The 3000 meters featured a deep Wisconsin lineup featuring three members of the 2024 cross country national podium finishing team. Matan Ivri led the way, finishing fifth with a time of 7:52.28, which ranks in the top-25 in the country.  Two other Badgers finished top 10 with personal records as Johnny Livingstone took seventh in 7:57.01 with Christian de Vaal was right behind him in eighth with a time of 7:57.60.
