CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind.- The Greyhound track and field squads opened 2012 at the Wabash Little Giant Invitational, with the men's team coming away with a pair of provisional marks and one automatic qualifying mark, while the women's 4x400 relay posted a new meet record.

The UIndy women were led by the 4x400 meter relay squad, which posted a new meet record with a time of 4:01.67, besting the previous record also held by a Greyhound squad. The team of Jordan VanDyke, LaTisha Martin, Haley Miller, Lauren Rascoe is officially the new recordholder of the Little Giant Invitational.
