Meet Results
LEXINGTON, Va.-After a good outing on day one of the KeyDet Invitational, which saw strong results in the 60 meter hurdles, weight throw, and pole vault, the Thundering Herd wrapped up day two with a solid string of performances.
Junior Danere'a White finished fourth in the 400 meters (with a time of 57.48), while sophomore Brandy Elysee placed sixth in the 200 meters (25.18).
Marshall's 4x400 meter relay team of Christianna Dogan, Brandy Elysee, Safiyyah Mitchell, and Erica Murphy finished in fourth place, while a team of Sydnei Taylor, Isabella Tremble, Ashonti Warner, and Takira Williams finished thirteenth.
In shot put, perhaps the Herd's best event of the day, senior Elena Marchand finished first, with a mark of 48 feet and 11.75 inches. Marchand was not far off from her personal best (also the school record) of 49 feet and 9 inches. Freshman Maryann Adebayo finished thirteenth in the event, and sophomore Kylie Miles finished twenty-second.
Marshall will return to action back at home next week, kicking off the two-day Thundering Herd Invitational on Friday, January 25th. After finishing second overall or better in both 2017 and 2018, look for the Herd to keep the streak alive.
