GORHAM — Hannah Wiley of Arundel is rewriting the University of Southern Maine track & field record book. And she's only a freshman. She just wrapped up a year in which she broke four indoor school records and six outdoor school records, and she collected more awards than the movie Titanic.

“It was quite a remarkable year for a first-year student,” said USM track coach George Towle. “We've certainly never had a freshman of this caliber. If you look at the NCAA across the country, she certainly was one of the top freshmen at the national level.”

Wiley competed in the Division III NCAA Championships, where she was a finalist in the 400m hurdles and finished 10th in the Long Jump with a school record jump of 5.71 meters. Her jump was the best of any freshman in the field. She qualified for the nationals by winning the 400m hurdles and coming in second in the Long Jump at the D-III New England Championships.
