Murray State track and field wraps the Joe Walker Invite with three event champions and a school record. Kayla Bell won the 800m with a time of 2:05.32 to break the school's longstanding school record.

The Racers add two more wins in the second day with the 4x100m quartet of Faith Bostick, Teliyah James, Lucia Herrero-Yanez and Rachel Hagans won the event with a time of 45.28 seconds.

Bostick also won the 100m dash with a time of 11.64 seconds. Good for second in the Missouri Valley Conference performance list just behind James.

"The 4x100m relay always sets the tone and I commend those women for executing well and winning the race. We kept the ball rolling from there," said head coach, Adam Kiesler.

"Faith Bostick really had a good meet which we are proud of her for!"

MSU featured 17 personal record and nine season best performances.

"We are excited about where we are at this point in the season and also excited about where we are going," said Kiesler.

"Hosting the he dual meet next week will be fun but also highly competitive."

The Racers are set to host Austin Peay for a Popeyes Battle of the Border dual meet, Friday.
