Herd Completes Day One at Charlotte Invite

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Day one of the Charlotte Invitational wrapped up Friday, and the Herd came through with a handful of top-3 finishes.

Reneese Batson took third place in hammer throw with a mark of 55.54 meters. Hasana Clark recorded the seventh-best mark in the event— a distance of 52.82 meters. Freshman Kylie Miles finished sixteenth (40.13).

Marshall put up perhaps its best overall javelin performance of the outdoor season on Friday. Sylvia Terente finished in second place, and Heidi Heinger placed third. Terente and Heiniger recorded marks of 40.53 meters and 38.89 meters, respectively.

The final event of the day, the 3000-meter steeplechase, saw Madelyn Garrison log the tenth-best time for the women's side (11:41.48) and Ian Domenick finish in thirteenth (10:50.07) for the men's side.

Long jump will be the first event of Saturday (11 a.m.) for Marshall, and Sarah Bever, Torie Derrow, Lauren George and Josie Raines are set to compete.
