Entering this weekend's #HLTF Championship, two Vikings have posted marks that rank among the top-10 in the Horizon League so far this season: Dynesty Ervin (400) and Anna Brandt (800, 1500, 3000SC), while the 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams also have top-10 marks.
Through the first five meets of the outdoor season the Vikings have notched 11 top-five finishes, including a trio of runner-up finishes from Brandt (1500 @ Tiffin Classic), Tylar Mixon (200 @ West Virginia Invite) and Brooke Armbruster (Javelin @ West Virginia Invite).
This weekend's meet marks the sixth of the 2021 outdoor season for the Vikings, and the first time for Cleveland State to be competing at Youngstown State.
During the 2019 #HLTF Outdoor Championship – the last time the outdoor championship was held – the Vikings were able to post 10 podium finishes at the league meet.
