BALL STATE NEWS & NOTES:

- Leading the way for the Cardinals entering the Ball State Challenge is sophomore Regan Lewis who cleared a career best outdoor height of 1.70m to place second in the high jump at the Raleigh Relays (March 24) … The effort currently ranks fifth in the Mid-American Conference and 38th on the NCAA Division I East Preliminary Round qualifying list.
- Thanks to her MAC Championship automatic qualifying mark of 1.70m in the high jump at the Raleigh Relays (March 24), Regan Lewis was named the Mid-American Conference Field Athlete of the Week … She is the first Ball State track & field student-athlete to earn MAC weekly honors this season.
- With a time of 12.08 in the 100m dash at the Raleigh Relays (March 24), sophomore Peyton Stewart enters the week ranked seventh in the conference in the event.
- Freshman Brooke Talhelm enters the week as the program leader in three different events … She ranks eighth in the conference with a career-fast 800m dash time of 2:13.79 set at the Oliver Nikoloff Invitational (April 1) … Her career-fast 1500m run time of 4:35.44 set at the Raleigh Relays (March 24) is ninth in the MAC, while she also leads the team in the 3000m run with a career-best effort of 10:19.28 at the Stan Lyons Invitational (March 18).
