A little more than a month after having her appendix removed, Tennessee's Sarah Bowman is running the fastest times of her career.

Late Friday night at the Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark., the Lady Vol All-American posted her second-consecutive career best and produced a fourth-place finish in the mile run. Her time of 4 minutes, 36.51 seconds is second-fastest in UT history, just shy of Alisa Harvey's 4:35.25 school record on March 2, 1986.

Senior Courtney Champion was seventh (7.42 seconds) in the 60-meter dash and fourth in the 200 (23.73), earning an NCAA provisional time.

Former Lady Vol and NCAA indoor record-holder Nicole Cook placed second in the 800 (2:03.11).

In the afternoon session, Tennessee junior Katie Van Horn notched an NCAA provisional qualifying time in the 5,000 meters (16:24.28), the third-fastest time in Lady Vol history.
