KENT, Ohio - The Cleveland State track & field team returned to action Saturday, posting eight top-10 finishes at the Jud Logan Memorial hosted by Kent State.
"We had a good start to our return to competition today, led by Grace Frye to broke her own school record in the weight throw," head coach Jason Hudson said. "It will be exciting to see how we develop as we continue the season, and hopefully we will be a very different team when we put the uniforms on for the conference meet next month!"
Cleveland State's top individual finish came from Kiannah Sarver in the 5000 Meter Run, as she posted a time of 19:32.68 to finish second. Sage Colòn finished right behind her in third place, crossing the finish line in a time of 19:40.88.
In addition to Sarver and Colòn, Madelynn Madison and Ana Crangle also posted top-10 finishes in distance events, Madison with an eighth place finish in the Mile (5:21.13) and Crangle with a 10th place finish in the 3000 Meter Run (10:56.20).
Tilly Nasende posted Cleveland State's best finish in sprint events on Saturday, finishing seventh in the 400 Meter Dash (1:00.92).
In field events, Grace Frye notched a pair of top-10 finishes, placing ninth with a mark of 12.62 in the Shot Put, and finishing 10th in the Weight Throw with a mark of 16.07.
The Cleveland State quartet of Leah Hoover, Madison Morris, Ky'Renae Matlock, and Julia Rapp also picked up a top-10 finish in the 4x400 Meter Relay, finishing ninth overall with a time of 4:20.10.
