The Murray State women's track and field team battled adverse weather conditions as they completed the Ohio Valley Conference Outdoor Championships Saturday afternoon in Cookeville, Tenn. A tornado warning in the area forced the meet to end early.

Audris Williams took eighth place in the 100-meter dash with a time of 14.06.

In the 400-meter dash Amber Mills finished sixth with a time of 58.36.

Senior Taylor Crawford finished second in the 1,500-meter run with a time of 4:42.75 and seventh in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:22.51.

The Racers finished third in the 4x100-meter relay with a time of 47.62.

Murray State tallied a total of 30 points to take eighth place.

Due to the event ending early, individual awards voting for the Championship was not completed. It is the hope that the awards will be determined via teleconference on Monday and when the awards are finalized they will be posted at OVCSports.com.
