Track & Field Continues Record-Setting Outdoor Season

The Marquette University track and field teams wrapped up weekend competition at a pair of events Saturday afternoon, continuing a trend of strong individual performances this spring.

The Golden Eagles were represented at both the Hurricane Alumni Invitational, hosted by Miami, and the Eastern Illinois Big Blue Classic.

Highlights at Miami included a first-place finish by Marin McClowry in the high jump with a height of 5-5.75, her season-best mark. Freshman Julian Wright, competing in just his second outdoor meet, continues to add his name to the top-10 list in the 400m. He clocked a time of 47.24 on Saturday, the second-best effort in school history, and has John Rydeski's 40-year-old top time of 47.13 in his sights.

Samuel Johnson won the long jump with an effort of 24-3.50, his personal best and the fourth-best mark in school history. Madison Marko's day included a trio of career efforts and her own first-place finish in the long jump (19-3.5, 4^th at MU).

Junior Joe Keys collected six personal-best marks en route to a first-place finish in the decathlon with a total of 7537, currently the top effort across the NCAA in 2021.

Friday night, Marquette competed in the 10,000m at EIU, with Kendall Pfrimmer collecting MU's top finish on the women's side. Pfrimmer crossed the finish line second with a time of 37:47.79, the first of three-straight Golden Eagle competitors.

On the men's side, Jordan Janusiak claimed fourth with an effort of 32:56.30.

UP NEXT: Marquette will hit the road again, but not have to go very far, competing in the Warrior Invitational, hosted by Wisconsin Lutheran on Saturday, April 17.
