4/21/2018 8:50:00 PM | Women's Track and Field
The Murray State women's track and field team wrapped up the Georgia Tech Invitational with numerous PR's set.
"Overall this weekend the team as a whole took a step in the right direction. There were numerous PRs and MSU top ten performances. D'Myia Thornton in the 400, Emily Heil in the pole vault and Destiny Carey in the shot put were amazing, but the highlight came from Hilary McAdam who ran a personal best by over 3 seconds in the 800 which puts her fourth all-time at MSU and third in the OVC currently this year. We had good performances in every event group this weekend. We have three weeks for everyone to be on the same page and there is no question that we will get there," said head coach Adam Kiesler after the Georgia Tech Invitational.
200-Meter Dash
Daijah White led the way for the Racers with a 21st place finish with a time of 24.95. White set a lifetime PR in the 200-meter dash with that time. Aubrey Main finished with a time of 26.43.
400-Meter Dash
Norma Abdur-Rafia posted a time of 56.01 and a 14th place finish while D'Myia Thornton came away with a 21st place finish and a time of 57.24. Summer Wheeler finished with a time of 59.97.
800-Meter Run
Hillary McAdam came in second place in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:10.93. Her time of 2:10.93 is now the third fastest time in the Ohio Valley Conference this season.
4 X 100 Meter Relay
The team of White, Abdur-Rafia, Jabreuna Brimlett and Antoinetta Avant finished with a time of 47.62
4 X 400 Meter Relay
The team of Thornton, Abdur-Rafia, McAdam, and Wheeler finished sixth with a time of 3:48.52, the second fastest time the Racers have posted in the event this year.
