Fletcher won the high jump, breaking the school's 42-year-old with a 1.79m jump. The previous school record was 1.78m, set by Alison Manley in 1981.
Â
With her performance, Fletcher is 16th in the nation and first in the Southeast Region and Missouri Valley Conference.

"We had a few athletes run in events for the first time this year and they took advantage of the home venue and great weather," said head coach Adam Kiesler.
Â
"Fletch breaking the school record in the high jump was the highlight, but other people did an amazing job."
