ILLINOIS STATE REDBIRD INVITE
"We faced some wet and windy conditions Saturday, so it wasn't the best conditions for putting a lot of fast times or personal bests down," head coach Bert Rogers said. "We went out there and gave it our best effort knowing we might not put down our fastest times, but could still get something out of it."
Action began Friday afternoon with the men's and women's hammer throw. Vinnie Voudrie received runner-up honors with a personal best throw of 56.27 meters/184 feet, 7 inches. Allie Flando (3rd) and Lizzy Cagle (4th) finished in the top-5 on the women's side throwing PRs of 49.02 meters/160 feet, 10 inches, and 48.77 meters/160 feet, respectively. Cagle would go on to set a PR in the discus as well with a mark of 39.38 meters/129 feet, 2 inches.
On Saturday, Harry Baker took home the silver medal jumping a personal best of 2.03 meters/6 feet, 8 inches. Brady Heller took fourth overall with a PR of 1.85 meters/6 feet, 0.75 inches. On the women's side, senior Lindsey Mirkes finished in third with a jump of 1.70 meters/5 feet, 7 inches.
Sophomore Alex Lesperance took third in the long jump with a mark of 6.54 meters/ 21 feet, 5.5 inches.
In the women's javelin, Grace Mager earned the silver with a mark of 35.54 meters/116 feet, 7 inches. Mia Ketelhohn finished in the top-3 as well taking third overall with a throw of 34.53 meters/113 feet, 3 inches.
On the track, Mitchell Van Vooren posted a top-3 finish in the 400-meter hurdles finishing in 56-seconds flat. Freshman Daylee Braden recorded a top-5 finish in the 400-meters finishing in a time of 58.08.
"We competed hard, overcame so tough conditions, and are on to the next one."
