Burnett, a graduate student from Midlothian, Va., went record hunting in the distance events at the Division I-heavy Colonial Relays hosted by the College of William & Mary. Burnett finished ninth overall and tops among Division III competitors in the championship race of the 5,000-meter run. Her time of 17:08.12 is not only the fastest in the ODAC this season, but it is the best mark in the conference since Bridgewater's Olivia Mills posted a time of 17:03.83 in 2013. Burnett's time is currently ranked 12th in Division III. It is also a new program record by 25.84 seconds, eclipsing the time of 17:33.96 set by Kaitlyn Johnson in 2019.
