AUSTIN, Texas – Kansas Track & Field saw two event victories, a pair of NCAA leading marks and a school record fall all on day two of the 87^th Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays inside Mike A. Myers Stadium Thursday. NCAA heptathlon champion Lindsay Vollmer kicked her outdoor season off strong by claiming the event title while the women's 4x800-meter relay team rewrote the 34-year-old school record in the event.
 
Competing in her first heptathlon since winning an NCAA title in the event last season, Vollmer put her name back atop the national ranks after a come-from-behind victory on the second day of competition. Vollmer began day two of the event sitting in third place and trailing the leader, Penn State's Brittney Howell, by 75 points. Over the final three events of the day she steadily chipped away at Howell's lead. Vollmer posted a long jump mark of 5.88 meters (19'3½") to start the day, but found herself in an even deeper hole after Howell extend her lead to 142 points with just two events remaining.
 
The Kansas junior then used a strong showing in the javelin to leap Howell in the standings after she posted a top throw of 39.18 meters (128'6"). The mark gave Vollmer a 17-point lead with just the 800 meters remaining.
