DURR SETS SCHOOL RECORD IN STEEPLECHASE  AT STAN LYONS INVITATIONAL

INDIANAPOLOS, Ind. – Leah Durr finished second in the women’s 3000 meter steeplechase but her time of 10:52.37 was good enough to set a school record at the Stan Lyons Invitational hosted by Butler University on Saturday.

Durr was just one of a number of Indiana State track and field athletes who did well at the meet. Right behind Durr in third place in the steeplechase event was Laura Engle with a time of 11:09.43.

Katie Weber won the women’s 800 meters in a personal best time of 2:15.51. Santia Spight was second in the high jump at 5-feet-8.75-inches (1.75 meters), which qualified her for the Midwest Regional. Lisa Barrett was second in the javelin at 133-feet-9.25 (40.77m) while Kayla Alexander was second in the 3000 meters with a time of 10:18.32.

On the men’s side, Brad Ada dominated the 800 meters to win in 1:53.40 while Scott Keeney was second in the 5000 meters with a time of 14:04.67. Jeremy Gray returned from spring football practice and took a third place in the 100 meters (10.83), Clayton Wilson was second in the 400 meters (48.57), and Jake Conn third in the pole vault at 16-feet-0.75 (4.90m)

The Indiana State track and field teams, which were split between the Drake Relays and the Stan Lyons Invitational this weekend, will be back together next weekend for the Billy Hayes Invitational hosted by Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind.
