Adebayo’s weight throw mark top in Conference USA

HUNTINGTON, W.Va.—Marshall athletes took first place in the distance medley relay as part of the opening night of competition at the 2020 Marshall Invitational Friday at the Jeff Small Track at the Chris Cline Athletic Complex.
 
Marshall's DMR team of Sydney Smith, Astoria Beckett, Alyssa Long and Julia Muller went back-and-forth with Murray State's team throughout the race. Muller finished the final leg of the relay in front, winning with a time of 12:33.82.
 
Sophomore MaryAnn Adebayo finished third in the weight throw with a top mark of 18.29 meters (60 feet, 0.25 inches). Her significant personal record is currently the top mark in Conference USA in the event this season, and becomes the third best personal record in school history.
 
Also in the event was freshman Brooke Burns who qualified for the finals and finished 8th with a top throw of 14.25m (46 ft. 9 in.). Fellow freshman Katie Hill finished 10th in the event with a top throw of 13.91m (45 ft. 7.75 in.).
 
Junior Lauren Zaglifa finished 2nd in the pole vault with a top clearance of 3.67m (12 ft. 0.50 in.).

Torie Derrow and Jillian King will compete in the high jump beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday to resume action on the second day of competition.
