Hagans Highlights Day One of Commodore Challenge

Murray State track and field opened the new year at the Commodore Challenge at Vanderbilt.

Rachel Hagans highlights the first day of the meet by winning the long jump while breaking the school's 33-year-old record with a mark of 6.18m. Dianne Woodside made the previous record (6.16m) in 1990.

"One of the many goals Rachel had going into the season was breaking the school record and to get that out of the way week one allows her to focus on other things," said head coach Adam Kiesler.

Another top-five all-time performance came from Kayla Bell, who finished runner-up in the 600-meter run. She clocked a time of 1:33.00, propelling her to second the program's all-time list.

Sophomore, Hannah Malone, came runner-up in the 200-meter dash with a time of 24.62 seconds. Her time puts her ninth in the program's top-10 list.

"Overall we had a good day one to the weekend," said Kiesler. "The first meet is a good learning experience and allows the staff to teach everyone how important the little things are. Those who competed set the energy in motion for tomorrow which will be another exciting day."
