ROCHESTER, Mich. - The Cleveland State track & field team opened action at the 2024 #HLTF Outdoor Championship Friday, paced by Grace Frye who won the Javelin event with a mark of 40.36 to capture the Horizon League title.

"I'm really proud of how we performed today and this sets us up for the rest of the meet, as we are now done yet!"
