Track and field stalls at Miami Invitational

The Wright State track and field team finished seventh after two days of competition on Friday and Saturday at the Miami Invitational in Oxford.

Sophomore Kacia Grant highlighted the Raider’s results Saturday, finishing third in the 100 meter dash and eighth in the 200 meter dash events one week after winning both events at the Yellow Jacket Collegiate Open in Cedarville. Grant, along with sophomore Sarah-Ann Blount, freshman Savanna Termuhlen and senior J. Chika Morah, placed third in the 4x100 meter relay race. Blount placed fourth in the triple jump and ninth in 100 meter hurdles events.

Freshman Brittany Bailey set a school record with a time of 2:17.11 in the 800 meter run and placed eighth in the event. Grant and Morah teamed with Bailey and freshman E’shira Gooden to finish third in the 4x400 meter relay event.

With less than a month before the Horizon League Outdoor Championships, the team will return for two days of competition beginning Friday at the All-Ohio Championships in Athens. The final Ohio-based competitions for the Raiders include the Jesse Owens Classic on April 19 and 20, the Cedarville Collegiate All Comers meet on April 20 and the RedHawk Invitational in Oxford on April 27.
