LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Marshall Track & Field finished its two-day meet at the PNC Lenny Lyles Invitational in Louisville against elite competition. The Herd had five scorers and a school record broken on Saturday.
"It's always a good feeling to enter this part of the season with some momentum," Director of Track & Field Keith Roberts said. "Of course we want to see more, but we continue to close the gap and get stronger in multiple areas. Both the men's and women's teams had numerous personal bests and high level performances."
"We had highlights from every event group again as Kylee Mastin broke the school record in the mile, Rebecca Merritt had an impressive weekend in the throws, Lara Check placed fourth in the elite long jump, and the women's 4x4 hammered a new season's best to close out the meet. We had multiple heat winners and event winners, and improvement in the Sun Belt rankings. Jalynn Browning moved up to third in the 5,000m in the Sun Belt, Becca Merritt moved up to third in weight throw, and Hannah Wyler moved up to third in the Sun Belt in the mile. Overall, our team energy is infectious and that is something we have really emphasized the past two weeks."
Mastin broke her own personal and the school record in the Mile with a time of 4:42.17. The two-time Sun Belt Conference Runner of the Week leads the conference in the 800, Mile, and 3K in all competition entering the weekend.
Other personal-bests included Brady Dawkins, Kazuma Bowring, Jalynn Browning, Rebecca Merritt, Ryan Muktar, Donny Speas, Azure Travis, Evan Weder, Alayezia Williams, McKenna Woodruff, and Hannah Wyler.
