SAN ANTONIO, Texas
– Marshall freshman Krista Perry currently stands third in the heptathlon at the 2022 Conference USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, a meet that is being contested at the Park West Athletics Complex in San Antonio.
 
Perry's total through four events is 2885 points, with the long jump, javelin and 800 meter run to come tomorrow.
 
The West Liberty, Kentucky native finished third in every event Thursday. She completed the 100 hurdles with a time of 14.43 seconds, the high jump with a mark of 1.50 meters, the shot put with a toss of 10.86 meters and the 200 meters with a time of 26.43 seconds.
