WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The Indiana track and field team opened the first day of weekend competition from the Wake Forest Invitational on Thursday, April 16th. The mid-distance group saw several personal bests and event winners across the day.
"I thought the group came out and competed really well," said assistant coach Andrew Poore. "Our 800 runners were at the front of all their sections, either winning or setting a personal best. Cam Marshall continued to show why he is one of the best athletes in the country, but the group as a whole really set the tone for the rest of the weekend. Michaela Quinn capped off the night in the steeple with a 19 second personal best with a mark that made the NCAA regional the year before, so overall, it was a really good first night of racing."
Ciara Kepner started the day for the Hoosiers in the women's 800-meter open. She ran a personal best time of 2:10.17 to win the group six competition. Catie McCabe and Nola Somers Glenn followed in groups nine and 10, respectively. McCabe earned second while Somers Glenn finished second in a persona best time of 2:07.23.
In the men's 800-meter invites, D'Angelo Brown and Camden Marshall won the first and third invite groups, respectively, giving the Hoosiers three group winners on the day. Brown's time of 1:48.68 was also a new persona best.
Michaela Quinn closed the first day with a major improvement in the women's steeplechase. Her time of 10:19.72 now ranks in the top-10 on the all-time Indiana record list, sitting at eight all-time.
The Hoosiers will be back tomorrow afternoon as they start the day in Gainesville, Fla. with the Tom Jones Memorial women's 200-meter.
