MILWAUKEE - The Marquette University men's and women's track and field teams are set to compete in a quartet of meets for their annual trip to Southern California this week.Â
The trip opens with the 48th Annual Bryan Clay Invitational at Azusa Pacific's Cougar Athletic Stadium and the Mt. SAC Relays on the campus of El Camino College on Wednesday. More of the Marquette contingent will see action at the Pacific Coast and Beach Invitationals hosted by Long Beach State beginning on Thursday.
Last week, the Golden Eagles made their return to action at the Illinois Twilight following a 14-day layoff from competition. Throwers led the way for MU with Eric Fellin improving his No. 2 mark all-time with a win in the javelin, while Brendan McKinney and Terrance Howard placed 1-2 in the discus.
Meanwhile, Maya Marion was impressive in the shot put and Keely Knobbe turned in a pair of runner-up finishes in the discus and hammer.
On the track, Jennifer Parker cruised to a win in her steeplechase debut and ran the eighth-fastest time in MU history, while Meghan Carroll took second place in the 800 meters with the fifth-fastest time at Marquette.
It was one year ago at the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate that the men's 4x100 relay team of Joshua Word, Jay Whalen, Connor Boos and Brandon Bell broke the school record for the third-straight meet. Also, then-senior Brittney Feivor took third place and set the No. 2 time in the 10,000 meters, placing third at the Mt. SAC Relays.
Jessica Parker, Jennifer Parker and Mary Hanson featured strong performances at the Bryan Clay, while Terica Harris recorded the second-farthest triple jump mark in school history at The Beach Invite.
Marquette looks to ramp up efforts in preparation for the upcoming BIG EAST Outdoor Championships, which are set to take place in Geneva, Ohio, May 11-12.
