The Murray State Women's Track & Field program took a partial squad to the Hoosier Hills Open Friday at Gladstein Fieldhouse in Bloomington, Ind.

The highlight of the meet for MSU was another record-setting performance in the distance medley relay.

Two weeks after breaking the Murray State record, the team of Asenath NaAman, Sydney Gholston, Meagan Richeson and Katelyn Jones set a new mark of 12:11, which shaved a second off the previous time.

Taylor Crawford finished third in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:16.

MSU's Amber Mills and Brandy Williams finished sixth and eighth place in the 600-meter run with times of 1:36 and 1:41.

In the 3,000-meter run, MSU's Alaina Zanin finished 13th with a time of 10:44, while teammate Kristin Reffett was 19th at 11:15.

For MSU head coach Dereck Chavis, the team is peaking at the right time with the Ohio Valley Conference Indoor Championships coming up Feb. 29-March 1 at Tennessee State.

“This was a positive meet for all of our competing athletes as they all set personal bests,” Chavis said. “It's becoming more evident that we're approaching each race and event with more confidence.”
