Huntington, W.Va. – Marshall's Abby Herring and Macie Majoy set new records as The Thundering Herd claimed victory in the Marshall Invitational on Saturday afternoon at the Jeff Small Track inside the Chris Cline Indoor Athletics Complex.
Marshall took the victory by winning 11-of-14 events while posting 190 points. The Thundering Herd defeated Wright State (78), Morehead State (56) and Cleveland State (34) in the first meet for Track and Field in 2022.
Herring registered a time of 5:00.57 to set a new school record in the one-mile run edging the prior record from 2017 by 1.32 seconds.
Majoy recorded a 3.84-meter pole vault that bettered her previous meet record of 3.75 (2020) to win the event.
Ashonti Warner took two wins on the afternoon, first posting an 8.61 60m hurdles time and following that with a 2:21.46 time in the 800m run.
MaryAnn Adebayo also claimed a pair of wins on the day. The senior notched a 17.25-meter distance in the weight throw, on her third throw. The second win came on her third throw of the shot put, a 12.31-meter effort.
Krista Perry edged out a victory in the long jump as her 5.42-meter effort won by a margin of .02 meters over Maria Parra.
Erica Murphy glided to victory in the 400m run, taking the event by over a second with a time of 1:00.32.
Raegan Hefner and Myrka Cadet finished with identical 8.14 times in the 60m Dash with the former finishing slightly ahead taking the win in the single-heat event.
Mikah Alleyne snagged a win in the 200m Dash with Cleveland State's Dynesty Ervin finishing within a second of Alleyne.
Kyleigh Edwards and Meagan Ward took first and second in the 3,000m run with Edwards recording a 10:47:28 time and Ward finishing .61 seconds behind.
Jillian King, Marlee Porter, Itzel Santos and Murphy combined to post a 4:05:07 winning the 4x400m relay and final event of the meet.
"I think the takeaway today is that our kids trained hard over the break while we were gone for Christmas," said Marshall head track and field coach Jeff Small.
"I thought we performed well in every area, the jumps, the sprints, the hurdles, the throws and the distances. I was really pleased. I was pleased with the freshmen and thought they stepped up. The whole staff is pretty tickled."
The Thundering Herd will be back in action at the VMI Keydet Invitational in Lexington, Virginia, on Friday, Jan. 21, through Saturday, Jan. 22.
