HUNTINGTON, W.Va.—Sophomore MaryAnn Adebayo won the weight throw, and the distance medley relay earned wins on the opening night of the 2020 Thundering Herd Invitational at the Jeff Small Track at the Chris Cline Athletic Complex.
Â
"Great Friday for us," head coach Jeff Small said. "MaryAnn threw great in the weight throw, earning the win and threw just centimeters from her career best. Then the DMR team had one of the fastest time in Marshall history with three freshman and a sophomore. Really exciting to see those girls develop and it was a great start for the meet."
Â
Adebayo took first place by over three inches in the weight throw with a top mark of 17.26 meters (56 feet, 7.50 inches).
Â
The distance medley relay team of Abby Herring, Erica Murphy, Astoria Beckett, and Sydney Smith ran in 12:16.96 to take first place in the event. The team edged UNC Asheville by nearly two seconds in a tight race to the finish.
Â
Additional action on Friday saw a pair of freshman finish 11th and 12th in the weight throw in Katie Hill (11th: 12.11m/39 ft. 8.75 in.) and Brooke Burns (12th: 12.10m/39 ft. 8.50 in.).
Â
Senior Audreana Lewis finished fourth in the 5000m with a time of 20:53.89.
Â
At the end of the first day of action, Marshall is in third place with 25 points.
Â
The second day of action for Thundering Herd athletes begins at 10 a.m. Saturday. Tickets are $5 for adults, $3 for youth (12 and under), and $2 for those in groups of 10 or more. Marshall students receive free entrance with a valid student ID.
