Brodie Young, Lou-Anne Pouzancre Hoyer Set New 400 Records on Day Two at Don Kirby

On Day Two of competition at the Don Kirby Elite Invitational and the UW Husky Classic, Brodie Young and Lou-Anne Pouzancre posted even bigger improvements in the 400m that move them up in contention for spots at NCAA Indoor Championships and Alice Seguin ran the seventh-fastest mile in program history to conclude a busy weekend for New Mexico Track & Field.

• Brodie Young posted a stunning improvement on his UNM and Scottish national record set last week in the 400m, winning the men’s invite sections with a 45.66 raw time (45.77 converted) that likely moves him up in contention for a spot at NCAA Indoor Championships. Only the Top 16 declared entries in every non-relay event qualify.
• After running the second-fastest time in program history last weekend for a new PR, Lou-Anne Pouzancre Hoyer improved yet again – this time, the French national broke the UNM school record with a 52.39 time (52.50 converted). That time stands as a new U23 French National Record and among the Top 10 all-time performances by any French woman.
• Over at Dempsey Indoor in Seattle, Alice Seguin moved into the UNM All-Time List in the mile with a 4:35.74 finish, good for No. 7 all-time and fourth overall. She led 10 Lobos that recorded new personal bests in Seattle on Saturday.

Young put some distance between himself and the previous Scottish record of 45.98 with an improvement of three-tenths of a second. The junior had only recorded three sub-46 performances across the first of his collegiate career – all outdoors – but has now done so twice in his first two 400m races of the 2025 season, with Saturday’s time ranking No. 4 on the UK all-time list. His previous indoor best heading into this season was a 46.54 he put down at the Don Kirby Elite meet as a freshman in 2023.

With Saturday’s record-breaking performance, Pouzancre Hoyer has now run a collegiate personal best in each of her last five 400m races in a Lobo uniform dating back to exactly 12 months ago at the 2024 Don Kirby Elite Invitational:

• 52.39 – Don Kirby Elite (2/15/25) 
• 52.80 – UNM Collegiate Classic (2/8/25) 
• 53.23 – MW Indoor Championships Final (2/24/24) 
• 53.81 – MW Indoor Championships Prelim (2/23/24) 
• 53.84 – Don Kirby Elite (2/10/24)
