To highlight the Duke Invitational last weekend, Hunter Koike broke the program record in the men's 400m for the second straight week. In Durham, N.C., the senior clocked a 49.28, which bested the previous best mark by 0.16 seconds. Tyree McFalling also broke the school record (49.30), but he was outdone by Koike by 0.02 seconds.
