BATON ROUGE, La. – Indiana track and field concluded their competition in The Battle on the Bayou at Bernie Moore Stadium on Saturday (March 29) with several personal bests and high finishes across the weekend.
"We were able to get several NCAA regional marks," said head coach Ed Beathea.
"The Women's 800m group along with Trelee Banks and the Men's 4x100m relay were certainly highlights from the weekend. I am pleased with the effort of several freshman that are new to the program this year."
In Baton Rouge, Hannah Alexander (51.19m/167-11) started the day's competition with a new personal best in the discus throw, moving into the top 15 in school history. On the men's side, Dane Sebert (52.37m/171-10) cracked the top 20 in school history as he finished sixth overall in the event.
On the track, the men's 4x100 (Novo Onovwerosuoke, Tamer Saleh, Otto De St Jeor, Trelee Banks) relay team opened the outdoor season with a faster mark than any time ran a season ago. The quartet ran a time of 39.63 to place third overall to start the days track events.
Veronica Hargrave (2:06.17; PR) and Amelia Dodds (2:06.47) followed in the 800-meter run, finishing fourth and seventh respectively.
Trelee Banks finished the day with a personal best time in the 100-meter sprint. His time was in the top ten in Division one and second best among Big Ten competition at the time.
The Hoosiers will be back in action on Friday, April 11 as they travel to Tuscaloosa to compete in the Crimson Tide Invitational.
