Ball State runs on same track as 2022 MAC Outdoor Championships
KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The Ball State track and field team wrapped up its regular season with a slew of event wins at the Jack Shaw Invitational Saturday.
"Today was a good showing for the Cardinals," head coach Adrian Wheatley said. "One of the things we love to see is people continually stepping up when it matters. We had several highlights, and it was a competitive weekend that put us in a good position for the conference championship here in a couple weeks."
Karlie Zumbro and Joan Easter got things started by finishing first and second in the long jump with jumps of 5.47m and 5.43m, respectively.
The 400-meter dash trio of Payton Barlow, Emma Potter and Kayla Jones finished 1-2-3 in the race. Barlow finished in a time of 55.45, marking the second time she's broken the 56-second plateau this outdoor season. Potter crossed the line in a collegiate-best time of 55.93, while Jones produced a lifetime-best 56.30 mark, tying her last open 400.
Zumbro finished the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 59.88, which was second only to an unattached runner. Her mark is a lifetime best and sits as the second-fastest time in the conference.
Jenna Oriani won the 100-meter dash in a time of 12.25, while Michelle Lehmann placed second in 12.27.
In the 200-meter dash, Aaleiah Winford (25.52), Barlow (25.92) and Alexis Thigpen (26.37) finished 2-3-4 as a group.
In the 5,000-meter run, Carly Spletzer paced a quartet of Cardinals by finished second in a time of 18:02.56. Jenna Schifferer placed sixth with a personal-best time of 18:41.43. Maddie Aul knocked over 40 seconds off her previous best to set a lifetime PR of 18:44.90 and finish seventh.
Closing out the meet, the 4x400-meter relay team of Karleigh Conner, Sarah Greer, Juliana Stogsdill and Emma Cunningham won the race in a time of 4:22.02.
