LAST TIME OUT
Last weekend, the Raiders tallied eight top-five finishes at the Mastodon Invitational hosted by Purdue Fort Wayne. WSU also brought two student-athletes — Shelby Nolan and Abigail Halsey — to race in the 3,000-meter run at the Gladstein Invitational in Bloomington, Ind.

>> Nolan earned runner-up out of 22 runners in the 3,000-meter run at the Gladstein Invite by posting a season-best time of 9:44.24, just five seconds shy of her school-record mark in the 3K. The following day at the Mastodon Invite, she took third in the 3K (10:26.47) and sixth in the mile (5:24.59).

>> Halsey placed third out of 11 competitors in the first heat of the 3,000-meter run at the Gladstein Invite. Her personal-record time of 10:16.65 was the fifth-fastest 3K by an individual in school history. The senior went on to finish seventh in the mile (5:26.90) and 10th in the 3K (11:22.06) at the Mastodon Invite.

>> Emma Shigley earned runner-up in the 3K at Purdue Fort Wayne, as she crossed the finish line with a PR time of 10:21.44.

>> The Raiders claimed two out of the top-three spots in the 400-meter dash. Alycea Ruhlen placed second overall (1:06.44), while Emma Carr was third (1:10.14).

>> Amelia Harlow and Cierra Lively tied for runner-up in the high jump, as both Raiders cleared 5'-00.23 (1.53m).

>> Kaitlyn Miller raced to third out of 17 runners in the mile with a time of 5:21.33. Miller also placed seventh in the 800-meter run (2:39.84).

>> Melissa Siler and Bekah Robertson competed in four events at the Mastodon Invite. Siler was at her best in the shot put, as she placed fifth with a toss of 30'-08.50 (9.36m). Robertson turned in a fifth-place finish in the preliminaries of the 60-meter hurdles, finishing at 9.76.
