LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Kelly O'Brien continued an impressive track campaign by running a school record in the 1500M on Saturday night at the OXY Invite, hosted at Jack Kemp Stadium by Occidental University.
 
O'Brien won her heat and posted the eighth-fastest time of the event overall with a 4:24.46 performance in the Wildcats final regular-season competition.
