LINCOLN, Neb. – The Indiana University track and field team saw plenty of success after the second day of the Big Ten Outdoor Championship on Saturday, May 16. The Hoosiers saw three podium finishes and two more advancements to tomorrow's track finals.
Chayla Rankin and Max Grangier closed the multis events, each finishing eighth on the podium to earn the first points of the weekend. Over the two days, Chayla saw personal bests in the 100-meter hurdles (14.61), the high jump (1.74m; 5th), the shot put (9.30m), the javelin throw (30.44m), and her overall score (5,061) to make the podium as a freshman.
Max also saw multiple PRs, including the long jump (7.02m), the shot put (12.37m), and the pole vault (4.30m), finishing the decathlon with a second-place finish in the 1,500-meter.
Continuing in the field, Alex Smith saw an improvement on his personal best in the long jump. His new PR of 7.61m/24-11.75 placed fourth in the event, scoring five team points for the Hoosiers. His mark also ranks 15th in school history.
On the track, the Hoosiers saw two athletes advance for finals in the men's and women's 800.
Veronica Hargrave ran the fastest qualifying time to set her position for Sunday. Her prelim time of 2:01.12 set a Big Ten Outdoor championship meet record, previously held by Hayley Kitching of Penn State (2:02.54; 2024). She will look to be the first Hoosier to win the event since 2010 (Molly Beckwith)
Camden Marshall also had a strong preliminary performance in the men's 800-meter. His time of 1:45.81 was best in his heat and second overall.
The final day of competition begins tomorrow morning as Kelly Moran is set to compete in the women's triple jump.
