After being named Big East Outdoor Athlete of the Week for her performance a few weeks ago, junior Jayne Grebinski set another personal best in the 3000-meter steeplechase. Her second-place time of 10:34.15 was nearly three seconds faster than her effort at the Georgia Relays.

Sophomore Tyler O'Brien ran a season-best of 21.73 seconds in the 200-meters. The ninth-place finish was good enough for a Big East mark. Senior Scott Mueller captured third place in the 5000-meters and Brice Cleland also posted a personal best in the event for a pair of Big East qualifiers.

In the hammer throw, senior Jeff Kluge, Jessie Ehlen, Kelley Corcoran and Jamie Roth all reached Big East marks. Kluge also posted a Big East distance in the discus, a feat shared with junior Audra Ketelsen. Corcoran also earned a personal best in the shot put.

The Golden Eagles get back to action this Saturday at Valley Fields when they host the Marquette Twilight meet.
