BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Marshall track and field completed the first day of competition Saturday at the Conference USA Indoor Track and Field Championships at the CrossPlex in Birmingham, Alabama.
The Herd finished the day in 9th place with nine points. Just five events were scored Saturday, as nearly all track events Saturday were qualifiers for Sunday finals.
Sophomore MaryAnn Adebayo set another personal record in the weight throw in a fourth place finish. Her top throw of 18.67 meters (61 feet, 3 inches) is the third-best PR in school history. She earned five points for Marshall in team standings, and was less than an inch from 3rd place and a spot on the podium.
Thundering Herd hurdlers in the 60 meter hurdles shined. The Thundering Herd had three athletes qualify for finals (Safiyyah Mitchell—8.55, Taylor Robinson and Hannah Carreon—each 8.76). Marshall was the only school to have multiple finishers in the top-eight and thus qualify.
Freshman Mikah Alleyne qualified for the finals of the 400m with a new personal record time of 55.61, which is the second-fastest PR in school history.
Redshirt junior Torie Derrow competed in the multi-event pentathlon to begin the day. She finished 7th with 3331 points to earn two team points for Marshall in team standings.
Freshman Abby Herring hit a new PR in the mile with a time of 5:04.76, which became the second-fastest PR in school history behind Andrea Porter's 2017 time of 5:01.89.
The distance medley relay team of Herring, Sydney Smith, Astoria Beckett and Jamaicia James earned two points for the Herd in team standings with a 7th place finish. The team ran in 12:13.00.
