MACOMB, Ill. - The men's sprint medley relay brought home the lone victory of the day for the Marquette men's track team as the men's and women's track and field squads concluded the first day of action at the Lee Calhoun Memorial Invitational in Macomb, Ill.
"It was nice to get a couple of races under our belt in the sprint medley relay before we go to Drake later this month," head coach Bert Rogers said. "We got some good meet competition and were able to work on our handoffs, something that has given us trouble this year."
The women end the day second in the 12-team field with 44 points, while the men are fifth with 19.33 points.
BIG EAST Men's Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week ran the lead 200-meter leg of the sprint relay and was followed in the 200 by freshman Connor Stengel. Fellow freshman Aryan Avant ran the 400, while sophomore Kyle Winter closed out the relay in a time of 3:27.57 to earn 10 points for the Golden Eagles.
The women's sprint relay placed second in 4:05.34 to earn eight points. Junior Stephanie Grant ran the second 200 leg and was joined by three freshmen in Carlye Schuh (200), Kate Hein (400) and Sarah Ball (800).
Senior Jamie Roth in the hammer throw and Catherine Benage in the javelin notched second-place finishes with distances of 175 feet, 1 inch (53.37 meters), and 116 feet, 1 inch (35.39 meters) respectively.
Freshman Kathryn Koeck joined Roth in the hammer throw and recorded a personal-best distance of 149 feet, 7 inches (45.60 meters).
The Golden Eagles return to action Saturday 10 a.m. with the women's discus and will continue through the men's 1,600-meter relay at 5:20 p.m. Saturday's competition will be televised live for the first time in the meet's 22-year history on WIUTV3, channel 3 in Macomb.
